Hello everyone and sorry for my inconsistencies on deciding to go to camp or not.
Well, I finally have had the meltdown that I needed and decided yes I am going to come to camp. The whole push-up deal caught up to me and I'm in pain. Not fun....nor worth it I'm thinking.
Anyways, enough of my whining. I'm so excited and I can't wait to see everyone!!!
Seattle or bust!!!
Rachel
(Kayla will be attending with me also)
I'll be there

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Re: I'll be there
I am jumping up and down can't wait to see you again!
Sorry about the melt down but sometimes it's all we can do!
Sorry about the push up's... I've been there and I even tried weights to strengthen my arms and hurt myself.
My right shoulder just do it and I think I was really faking it by putting all the weight bearing on my unaffected arm.
I am so happy you two are coming.

Water games question...
Are the robpi playing against the left obpi or are we mixing up?
This should be interesting.
