Congratulations, Shawna and Dad! .....mostly for keeping each other's attitudes and perspective on the positive side through the dark/scary uncertainties. It makes ALL the difference. I loved the post about the "frankenscar" as a badge of courage- gives me some more material to "play" with in my own recovery. Hope all continues well into the future.
