I’m writing this letter to give gratitude to the staff of DHR-Brownsville, DHR-Edinburg, and especially my surgeon, Dr. Cera Kroenke… I thank God for blessing her with skilled hands, exceptional bedside manner, for being so caring, understanding, and being a gifted surgeon. I’m feeling great, I’m back to my normal self, and I’m ready to get back to my fourth-grade students to continue my teaching career. I thank God every day for all my blessings but especially for putting Dr. Cera Kroenke in my path…
