Thank you all!!!!

It has been a long time since I logged in....  Things were getting better for me all along....I have had so much help with my face.  I can actually smile pretty well.  My right eye has always been a pain, but I just had a surgery to lift my lower lid and my sister said that it is the best she has ever seen it.  Mostly, the right side of my lips don't work, but I even had a Dr. inject a filler on the right side and it has helped so much.

Although it has been years since I have contacted you all, I have to say that I have thought of you... and checked in as a guest. 

I have 3 kids.  Jennifer is married and will have our first grandchild in June.  Praise God.  Derek is the light of my life, like the others, and he is enjoying his being single and loving his new job. And Sean was in college, just 21.  Such a wonderful young person- I cannot begin to tell  you all about this young man.  He resides in Heaven now.  What a horrible and wonderful thing. Please know that nothing compares.         Love, Patti

Hi Patti,

I'm so glad you have posted again.  Thanks for sharing your family with us, this board isn't just about AN's, it's about the whole person.  When and if you come to a point where you want to tell us more about your Sean we are hear to listen.  Take care of yourself, Jill

Patti, I am new to the forum and don't know all of your details but clearly you have been through so much.  I wish you continued strength.  I believe in the power of thoughts and prayers and I am sending both your way.
