Hi Rene,
Thank you so much for sharing this newspaper article. It made me cry to see how far Caralyn has come, it is so wonderful.
I can't wait to meet you both next month.
Hugs, Karen

- 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.

Hi Rene
I am looking forward to meeting you both in D.C.
You must be so proud of all your daughter has accomplished in such a short time.

Hi Rene,
That was a very nice article, but it didn't make me cry - that was Karen. Our home has been invaded by people working on final preparations for camp. Karen was using my computer and didn't realize that I was logged in.
I'm looking forward to seeing you at camp as well.

Re: newspaper
Now that's how an article should be written. Great for
Caralyn cracking that egg with her left hand. I am left handed and I can't even do that. I wish her the best recovery and a great freshman year.
Marlyn
p.s I sent an email of appreciation to the newspaper.

Re: newspaper
Rene,
What an inspiring article! Caralyn's determination will stand her in good stead over the next couple years of physical therapy as she builds movement & strength. I can tell she's one of those kids who will find a way to do whatever she sets her mind to.
I'm so glad you went to Mayo! (John will probably go back for a checkup in March - let me know if you might be there at the same time.)
Take care,
Ellen
