Dear Maxime
We have so much in common. You had your eye surgery a bit younger than I had mine though. My heart is with you, beautiful baby Max, I hope this is a complete success.
Love. Kristina.

GIGUERE'S SON UNDERGOES SUCCESSFUL SURGERY
------------------------------------------

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The doctor who operated on the infant son of Anaheim
Ducks goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere to correct a deformed right eye
gave an encouraging assessment Wednesday.
"The surgery went extremely well and early signs are hopeful for a
positive outcome," Dr. Steven Schwartz, the lead surgeon on the medical
team, said in a statement.
The two-hour reconstructive surgery was performed Tuesday at UCLA's
Jules Stein Eye Institute. Schwartz is an associate professor of
ophthalmology and chief of the institute's retina division.
Maxime Giguere was born April 4 with a deformed right eye, but his left
eye is healthy. Giguere and his wife, Kristen, initially feared that
their child would be completely blind.
"Oftentimes, people are given frightening medical news and feel
hopeless. But this case illustrates that it is important to find expert
pediatric eye care and get a second opinion," Schwartz said.
The 30-year-old Giguere played a key role in Anaheim's victory over
Ottawa in the NHL finals, enabling the Ducks to become the first
California team to win the Stanley Cup. Giguere, who earned US$3.99 million this
season, is an unrestricted free agent.
Love. Kristina.
