Shoulder Injury and Knee Reconstruction Patient

Dr Shepard

On June 28th we dropped our daughter off at Annapolis for the grueling six weeks of Plebe Summer and I worried everyday that we would get a call saying she was injured.  The summer was tough, but she did it!  She participated in all physical activities, including endurance courses, rock climbing walls and jumped off the 10 meter platform. 

We saw her this past weekend at the completion of Plebe Summer and she looks tired and run down, but she is extremely happy and says despite the grueling summer and the upcoming challenging academic year she is where she wants to be.

I want to thank you, Julie and all your staff once again for all that you did for our daughter. Your amazing surgical skills! Your sense of humor! Your encouragement! Your support! and Faith! got her to where she is and we will always be grateful.

I attached a few--well a lot of pictures--so you can have a brief glimpse at the experience you made possible for her.

From personal experience I know we have to weather the challenges to truly appreciate the blessings.

With much gratitude,
