Hi folks - better late than never.

I've been doing my fair share of awareness here in little old Saskatchewan!

I developed a flyer that explains BPI's and how they happen. I included my name and email/phone number, offering my support to other families affected by BPI. I have sent them, along with a personal letter and silver ribbons, to my family doctor, Avery's paediatrician, Avery's therapists (children's clinic), the @**hole OB who did this and to the neonatal follow-up clinic at the hospital.

I put the cards and ribbons up at work and have been wearing my beautiful silver ribbon on full display all week.

My mom and Avery's daycare provider are also wearing silver ribbons that I gave them this week.

With what little energy I have, I am determined to get this injury recognised and understood!!

Holding Avery's little hand and Alison's hand, we extend our hand to the next person....from Saskatchewan, Canada........
