^This is the amazing Dr. who performed Chris' surgery! Dr. Keith Bridwell.
The middle picture is his fellow-Dr. Keeler. She was great and reassured us quite often.
The picture on the right is his office Nurse "Bernie" who set up the details of the surgery and care post-op. Very organized Nurse who answered my millions of questions.


Just thought I would add this in:
For those of you who do not know this story---my mother was cleaning her basement last year before the first surgery Chris had in Indiana. (At the time we were trying to decide who should do Chris' surgery--we had a few opinions and second opinions and I was praying for God to help me with this) She decided to look through some momentos from my Dad. (He had died in 1984 from Leukemia) She picked a pile from the box and a piece of paper came flying out and when she picked it up she could not believe what was on that piece of paper!--she called me crying--

My Dad had cut this out in 1979 (the date was on the back of the paper) Here is what it said:

The Dr. last year in Indiana had just left Shriners hospital in Chicago to go to Indiana--and I thought my Dad was telling me to go there---but---- Dr. Bridwell performs surgery at both St. Louis Children's and Shriner's in St. Louis. Maybe he was trying to steer me in his direction?
