Thanksgiving Update


Hello Everyone, Julie went to Johns Hopkins to see a Neuro-Ophtomologist last week. They told her that her eye problems should be better after the surgery. Ultimately they said her vision could get worse, stay the same, or get better. We are staying optimistic. She is still waiting to hear back from two other Neurosurgeons in New York and Philadelphia, just to make sure that everyone is on the same page. So far she feels most comfortable with the team at Johns Hopkins, especially Dr. Murphy. She has another appointment with him next Wednesday, December 5th to schedule surgery and go over details. Again, she just wants to thank everyone for their support and prayers. Julie is lucky to have such a wonderful support team with her friends and family behind her to keep her spirits up.
