Im new to this community. I have a five year old that has right bpi. Im looking for someone for us to get together with so she doesnt think she is the only one that has her problems. Maggie is about to start kindergarten and I think it would be awesome to find her a friend that can maybe help her learn how to do things that I wouldnt begin to know how to teach her. I know im not really making much sence I just really want to find others to get together with to talk over things that know how I feel and not have to go to chicago to do it. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thanks bunches Leslie

Leslie,
I met you a couple years ago when I worked at Wal-Mart in East Peoria. My son Blake(Right Obstetrical BPI) is 9 1/2 now and going into 4th grade this year. You can email me, maybe we can get together soon and Maggie can meet Blake(I know he is older, but he is pretty good with younger kids who aren't his sister:) )Blake functions really well and maybe can teach her a thing or two. I live in Washington, just a hop skip and a jump away. I know of two other BPI kids in our area too, but they are Blake's age, not Maggie's.

Talk to you soon,

Crystal

Did you try looking on the UBPN registry to see who lives in IL or other nearby areas? I encourage everyone to do this AND to register themselves! Here's the link for IL specifically below.
