The 19-year-old has undergone 20 surgeries since receiving the initial diagnosis- where doctors said she had only a week to live.Her recovery has been documented by her supportive friends and family who have posted photos online and even arranged for a very special pick-me-up in the hospital. Actor John Stamos visited Dobrow at the Orange County hospital in August after being recruited by her friend.
