To Dr. Hey, We who love Kate thank you so very much for your talent and for your excellent care of her. Kate is a wonderful person and she has so much faith. Last night at our pre-hospital send off dinner she was radiant, upbeat, and unworried. She was certain she was in the best hands. The films of her straightened spine are amazing. What a miracle! With appreciation, Anne Winslow (Kate's sister)

Dear Kate, Family, and Dr. Hey,
We are so happy to hear that the operation went well. You were in our prayers continuously from Tuesday on when you left CT. You are blessed to have found such an excellent doctor. We hope when you are up to it, you will enjoy the comments people add to the blog. Your x-rays are pretty unbelievable. Love you! Laurie and Jeff(x2) Smith
