hello Everyone
19 June 2018Hello everyone
As you know, we have changed the date of the facial surgery until the September – October timeframe. The reason was that we were given some consultation with a local plastic surgeon on 14th June and we had very much hoped, actually, that we could stay for this difficult operation in Local private. During the appointment time, we asked him whether he does similar facial nerve operations that have been offered to us by the professor based in Freiburg, Germany. The answer was not often but he can try! He certainly does do facial nerve operations, but not often as he honestly admitted. But Maxim's case, My God, again Maxim's case is absolutely rare!!! So we left that appointment completely upset.
A Professor from Freiburg has been recommended to us by our Professor Meyer, the neurosurgeon who completely removed Maxim’s tumor last year when here in New Zealand we were been told that the chances after the second operation were down to 15% chance of success. In Germany, it was all removed, but unfortunately, a side-effect of that operation was paralysis of a facial nerve on the left side. Maxim suffers terribly.
We decided to follow our plan to go to Freiburg for this composite surgery.
We are very thankful and appreciated to all of you who are helping us with this
