You and Michael have beautiful children. :) I read another article that you were in recently regarding a charity dinner. All of this touches close to home because my oldest stepdaughter is on her way to the Louisiana Center for the Blind for nine months with the hope of gaining some independence. Her blindness is a result of a medical mistake by a doctor. She is finally taking control of her life. I'll tell her your story so that she has more motivation.

He scheduled pituitary tumor surgery at UVa with Dr.s Laws and Thorner the NEXT DAY! His vision was saved. PLEASE make sure you have had all the tests you need, dear fellow Hollins alum.
