Jennifer will require numerous more restorative systems later on to thin her nose and repair the scarring. Specialists foresee the AVM will keep on growing back - however they ought to have the capacity to deal with the regrowth and Jennifer is no more in peril of passing on from a discharge. 

Dustin said: "I simply trust that she's content with the majority of the surgeries and what she looks like at last - I simply need to have a solid spouse." 

Jennifer included: "I'm content with where I'm at right now with all the advancement, just to perceive how far I've come makes me so cheerful for what's to come.
