Surgery Survival

Surgery Survival

“The Walker Family has endured 50+ surgeries as they have coped with a multi-congenital defect syndrome. Surgery is a part of their lives and as such, they have learned ways to make the journey a bit easier.”

Diane J. Walker has taken her families Real-Life experience and jotted down notes or a “practical guide for coping with surgery” [1] and is sharing it will all us. You can download a copy by clicking the cover of the guide.
