It was an easy decision.
Dr. Eric Mendeloff performed Skylar’s first surgery on February 21st. Since then, Michelle and LaFayette have been keeping a close eye on their growing baby girl. Unfortunately, not every day is good, but they talk about it, and press on.
It’s faith that keeps this family going, faith and a strong baby.
