United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

I've just returned from the Florida bpi gathering last Saturday. Us snow birds have to take full advantage of an opportunity to escape snow and cold (not good for bpi arm is my excuse) and so I stretched the weeekend to a few extra days in the sun.

Many thanks to those who put together this function. Although I hung out with the adult bpi crowd, where it was great to see Judy, Tony, Neesha, and Courtney and wonderful to meet John, I also enjoyed meeting the parents and the children.

So hats off to Hope and Judy and Leslie and everyone else who worked so hard to put this event together. It is always good to be able to meet others, compare notes, and have a few laughs together.

Cheers to that Nancy! It was great to see those that I had already met and great to meet with John FINALLY! THanks Jusy and Leslie! Big thanks to Dr. Nath as well for joining us and thanks for the presentation too! Hope to see you all again soon!

We also returned from the picnic. I am John's mother and we enjoyed meeting those that I have been talking to via email. Now I can put a face with a name. The visit with Dr. Nath was informative now we just have to digest it all, think about it and hopefully come to some kind of decision. I am learning that what is good for one might not be good for another or the decision that someone wants to make. Sometimes I wonder why life must be so hard. Thanks to all who put the weekend together. It means a great deal to know that others are going through what you have and are and will.

I just want to say it is great you all have a group like this. Thank you for helping my sister and her husband and my wonderful nephew John. I really do hope something good comes out of this for him and all of you! Just an Aunt who love him so much!
