While in Chicago for Sophie's surgery, we had the opportunity to meet other Nevus families from various parts of the US. On Thursday, we met the Nagel's for breakfast at our hotel. Beth and I met on Nevus Outreach. They are from South Dakota and their son, Sully, had had expander insertion surgery on Monday. This was his second round of expanders. He is such a cutie and a little trooper!

While at breakfast with the Nagel's, there was another Nevus family from Vermont having breakfast, as well. Their 10 month old little girl has a scalp nevus and was having her first round of expanders removed and nevus excision on Thursday. I pray everything went well for them.
Today while at Dr. Bauer's office for Sophie's checkup, we met a family from Washington, D.C. Their 6 month old daughter has a scalp nevus, and they were their for their first expansion. Mom was very anxious, and understandably so. I hope that she was encouraged to see how well Sophie has done and that they have a complication free expansion and surgery.
After Sophie's appointment, we met the Melton's, Adam, Christine, Katie, and Josh, from Phoenix, Arizona for lunch. Christine and I met on Nevus Outreach. Their little boy, Josh, has a nevus like Sophie's. He had surgery to insert his second round of expanders on Monday. He had many complications after his first round and never even got to have an expansion, but Dr. Bauer still managed to remove part of his nevus anyway. I keep telling y'all how amazing Dr. Bauer is! We are praying for great, problem free expansions and healthy skin for Josh and his family. We are looking forward to meeting more nevus families!

So sweet!
