Commencement 2014!  The time simply flew by and our baby is officially considered a college Freshman. Brody entered this world two weeks early at a whopping 8 pounds 6 ounces. He was an excellent baby from the start cooing tons in the hospital and smiling early on. His infectious smile made many a stranger comment on his personality. Now he is our almost 6 foot handsome fella who has had quite the successful high school career. He has won plenty of athletic awards, has graduated with an academic honors diploma, and was awarded cords for being in the National Honor Society as well as the Spanish National Honor Society. On Senior awards night he made us even prouder by bringing home multiple scholarships!  We couldn't be prouder!!! Brody plans to attend the University of Indianapolis along side his sister and study kinesiology and then apply for entrance into the physical therapy program. Congrats Brody on all your hard work and accomplishments!  We love you lots!!!

Just a bit behind here.  After my general surgeon follow ups were my oncology 6 month visit on April 22nd and then my plastic surgeon one year follow up on May 12th.  Oncology was all good, just keep doing what I am doing and return in 6 months. My plastic surgeon was able to see the settling the left breast has done since surgery. I had called and let them know I had a sunken area months ago. That area remains near the top and it's pretty obvious that the implant has shifted downward. He lifted it a bit manually to show how if he surgically lifted it it would help fill in that sunken area somewhat. No thanks, I'm done with surgeries for awhile. It isn't noticeable in my clothing so I see no need to fix it.  I suggested that we wait until my three year MRI to check the implants. If he sees any issues then maybe we can go in and make that adjustment. I have not the time, the money, nor the desire to undergo another surgical procedure. However I do very much appreciate that he is a perfectionist and wants to make sure all his patients are completely satisfied. He did take photos at this stage to have on record.
