Chicago Surgery

Allorah had her excisinal biopsy of the calcinosis on her left hip early this morning here in Chicago at Children's Memorial Hospital. She is now resting comfortably here at the hotel. The surgery went well and Dr. Vicari did an amazing job. She was in and out in 45 minutes. The research assistant from Dr. Pachmans center came by and picked up the calcinosis so they can run an anyalysis on it. The calcinosis itself was about 3x7 mm and located on the lower left portion of her hip. It is now gone and the healing has begun. I can't believe how brave she is, it truly amazes me and makes me so proud to call her my daughter.

We will be in Chicago until Monday night. She has an appointment with Dr. Pachman on Monday morning and we may have to see the endocrinologist here as well. We will play it by ear and see how she feels and may get some sightseeing in as well. She is very sore at the incision site but her spirits are good. Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. We truly appreciate it.


Here she is enjoying her ritual dinner at Toro Sushi. Thank you Mitch, the owner and sushi chef extraordinare, for the amazing dinner you provided to my family and for all the extra "goodies" you made for us.
