July 10th is the confirmed surgery date for Germany. We just bought our plane tickets. Kinda scary to think about, but Sue Hart from the Stenum Hospital gave me quite a few references. Many of them emailed, two of them called me and talked for quite awhile. That was wonderful.. very encouraging. The thing I have learned from all this is - Do your homework!! Not everything that you read on the internet is true. There are many people out there to provide awesome testimonials and support. The ultimate decision maker in all this is you so be prepared. I feel very comfortable with the decision to go to Germany and I am praying that all will be well. Mark
