Yard Sale

Kimmie has officially been diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. I can only tell you that it is nice for the fact that finally her unusual seizure behavior finally fits into a syndrome box with other kids. Well with that being said, the International Dravet group that I am a member in is having a conference in August. They will be holding it in Chicago. The really neat thing about this is that Dr. Dravet will be attending. The most world renowned doctors in this area will be seeing patients for consultations. A friend of mine e-mailed Dr. Dravet and she said that she would be interested in seeing Kimmie. I don't know if we will get a consultation with her or one of the other doctors but Kimmie and I need to head to Chicago. If there is any more ideas on what we could be doing different to help her I would like to find them. We officially with her new medication, can't afford the trip. I have received a grant to pay for our conference registration and the doctor consultations. I have also applied for other grants although nothing at this point has come through. So my dear friend Bethany suggested the other day that I hold a yard sale for Kimmie. So if you are interested in donating items or coming and helping or purchasing anything I will be holding a...

I have an adult mountain bike and some kid's bike that I can donate. Other stuff, too, I'm sure. When are you going to start collecting things?
