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.

I think I may hit the egg nog soon!
I can't believe that I have not gotten my Outreach yet!
I know how long ago Nancy made the post office runs...

I hope yours comes tomorrow and of course finally Carolyns a:)

Marieke you better watch out... Carolyn will get you at Camp a:)

Ho Ho Ho pass the egg nog...
My hands are cramped from writing more cards.
I wrote my cards Nov 29 then left them aside and did not mail them! I still can't believe I did that.
I bet my cards get to some peeps before Outreach gets here...
Maybe I'll go to the store and sit on Santa's lap and see if he can bring me one?

HI, a while ago I e-mailed someone to be put on the list to receive Outreach. I have a feeling it was not received. Could the person in charge of Outreach give me some way of contacting you so you could maybe let me know if they have received my e-mail, I would love to receive Outreach. Thanks so much. Marsha

Marsha

Did you send your name and address to Nancy@ubpn.org?

If you e-mail her she will get back to you or add you to the mailing list.

I live in NY and still have not gotten my Outreach and as a BOD Member I know how long ago they were taken to the post office and mailed.

I think mine is stuck in someone's mail bag.
