Back in April our family was on Spring Break. Christian and I were looking through the souvenir shops one afternoon when I spotted a little pottery jug that said "Boob Job Fund." I happened to have my sense of humor with me that day, so I picked it up and showed it to Christian. I laughed and said "What do you think? Should I get this?!" ... he stared at me blankly and asked, "Who's Bob?"

Now he thinks it's funny and occaisionally drops a quarter in the jar. (yes, I bought it ...)

Well, we're gonna need a whole lotta quarters according to yesterdays dr. visit. It was kind of a lot to take in. I will spare you all the details today, I am still processing it. Althought it will take an extensive surgery, I am so happy to hear that they can remove the massive scar tissue and reconstruct not only a breast, but my whole left chest where there has been so much damage from the three surgeries and radiation. Much more consulting and decision making to do before we can actually schedule this. Please pray for wisdom and direction.

Thanks - Have a great afternoon!
Annaliese
