Debbie,

I was really happy to have the opportunity to meet you and in the ENT

hallway at CHONY this afternoon. Although I realize our introduction was

somewhat awkward, (I was being bounced back and forth between the receptionst

and billing office trying to schedule a date for eartubes by ENT along with

shared OR time for a dental proceedure when I ran into you, the Dr. and .

At first I had no idea what the Dr. was talking about....but I saw and

what looked like a BAHA and you mentioned the list I realized you were another

CHARGE family. It was the first time I have met another CHARGE mom and child. I

was thrilled to meet your son who seems like such an alert and active little

boy. He really looks great! I realize from your posts that

you are busy with some important issues with right now and probably do

not have the time to correspond but would it be ok if I contacted you at a

later date? We live on Long Island and have a number of Dr.'s at CHONY.

(I hope you are able to find some answers for the problem with the blood around

s button soon.)

Best regards,

(mom to 23months CHARGE, 5 1/2 years old and wife to Pat) New
