I'm so glad Tim is going. Is this his first one? Katy came home in such a better place mentally with this disease. Primarily because she had met 3 other kids with CVID and they were " cool " . So, best wishes for Tim and for you. Just wanted you to know that Katy chose to do all the adult sessions -- she didn't go to " play " -- and I think that was the right choice for her. Of course, she and her 3 friends ditched a lot of sessions and " played " . But, it was just the right combination for her. She attended the adult sessions and was treated like an adult, could ask her questions, etc. But, had the companionship of a few other kids that made it fun. I don't know what is planned for the " youth " this year. Sometimes they do special outings that Tim might enjoy. It just depends on how Tim views himself at 17 -- ready to be with adults or rather be with his peers and younger kids. Hope that helps, In His service, dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hi Pam- we are coming with a 15 and 12 year old-we did not sign up for the child care package at this time because we want our kids to learn with us-especially our 15 year old because she has CVID. We are planning on getting there Thursday- Sue Petrelli --- mole1440@... wrote: > Hello, > > I am wondering how many (if any) teenagers will be > at the conference.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hello everyone! We are coming to conference and signed up Emma for the first day of childcare, but we are going to take her to the sessions that we think will benefit her most(out of childcare area.) Can't wait to see all of you that we know, and want to meet those of you that we don't know this year! Jill, CVID mother of Emma, CVID Re: IDF CONFERENCE IN JUNE Hi Pam- we are coming with a 15 and 12 year old-we did not sign up for the child care package at this time because we want our kids to learn with us-especially our 15 year old because she has CVID.
