Seal the Deal Celebration

After signing the paperwork friday, we stopped at the Portland test rose garden to provide me an opportunity to meander around and relax. Later before leaving town, we met up with Patrick (another friend with NF2) and Jean (mother of a daughter close in my age with NF1 - her daughter had surgery on her neck with my surgeon at OHSU).

They are also members of the Portland NF endurance team. Jean formerly walked the full Portland marathon a few years ago and Patrick is a marathon runner. Jean is now coordinator and captain of the Portland NF endurance team my sister and I will be cheering on this weekend at the Portland marathon.
