Hey Chris.... I would be very glad to chat with your daughter by email. I understand how it is to have this happen to you. I think what she is going through now is normal. It can be frightening and overwhelming to say the least. Once she is feeling better, she should start doing some of her own research and finding a plastic surgeon. She could go ahead and meet with them and ask questions. I have lots of other suggestions, but will email them to you if you want. Hang in there guys!!
