Journal entry by Carissa McLellan —
I can not thank everyone enough for following along during this time and for your kind words, support, prayers, and thoughts. I have been doing very well since my surgery and am half way to having all of my restrictions removed.
The surgery was a very difficult decision to make, but I am so glad that I did. In roughly 6 months I will check back in with the surgeon and find out if the graft took and increased blood flow!
Fortunately, this did not cause me to be delayed at all on my schooling and I am happy to say that I will be finishing out my last semester of college starting at the end of the month. Again, thank you!
