Please give Court our best and I will be praying for both of you that she has a comfortable and speedy recovery.
Looking forward to hearing she is feeling much better today...

- 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: in MN at Mayo
Shelley & Court, CONGRATULATIONS to you BOTH for coming through this with such flying colors! Believe me, I know it's a team effort - and Court, from everything I'm reading you have a championship team with you there (including your mom, other family, surgical team, nurses, etc). Mayo is indeed special but you're doing your part to insure you get the best possible outcome.
Know that many many people are rooting for you all & keeping you close.
Take care,
Ellen
