This is a picture of Jake (the one to the left of the kid in red) shaking the hand of our President Barrack Obama on Tuesday, March 24th.

Jake and our family were honored by the Children's Miracle Network to represent our state of Washington.  Walmart and Sam's Club were the sponsors who sent our family down to Florida at the Coronado Springs Resort on Wed. March 18th, along with families from all the other 50 states and 4 other countries, including our Canadian neighbors.  While there in Florida Jake was awarded a Champion Medal, he got to meet Miss America, and we were given the opportunity to go to a few theme parks in Disney World.

 
Here I am shaking hands with the President of the United States!

I just had my 28th surgery on Friday, Jan. 29, 2010 at Children's Hospital in Seattle.  The surgery took 3 hrs. and was a success.  Dr. Hopper revised scars to the rt of my eye, on my chin and then a real thick one on my lt jaw.  Because the scar on my lt jaw was so big, Dr. Hopper decided not to revise the scar to the lt of my lip as it would've cause my left side to tighten and get distorted.  So instead he fixed my upper lip on the lt side as it was a bit fuller than the rt side.  We are so anxious to see the end result of this surgery.  With every surgery comes such noticeable changes, we are certain that this one will be just as good.  Thank you for your prayers, we are so blessed to have so many people out there praying for us.  God hears every one of them.
