Angel's Reconstructive Surgery

Angel received his jaw reconstruction surgery at 8 AM this morning at St. Joseph Hospital in Lexington. All of this is possible because of the kind donation of care from Dr. Catherine White (anesthesiologist), Dr. Wayne Colin (surgeon) and the donation of ICU post-op care from the hospital. This follows three trips out-of-town to the office of Dr. Steve Hieronymus (dentist) for extensive donation of many hours of dental care (twice Dr. H came in on his day off) and the donation of oral surgery with the removal of 7 diseased teeth from Dr. Greg Erena (oral surgeon). The ongoing care and support from Ed and Teresa (foster parents) has been amazing. Thank you to all who made this possible.
