HELP - Can anyone help us this time?

[Guest guest]

It is that time again -- yes, the deadline for the next issue of the

MAGIC newsletter. The most popular section of the RSS/SGA division

of the newsletter is the personal stories section. We have one

story from Inga on .

We need a couple more. We can either use 1 or 2 " full " stories --

this means from birth to current day, on your child/family - how you

got a diagnosis (if you did), what has happened in your child's

life, current weight and length.

And we also LOVE brief stories on a specific topic. For example,

has anyone decided NOT to do growth hormone, and would like to write

why they made this decision? I would love to use your story.

Maybe how you have handled relatives who haven't understood what you

are going through? Or teasing from kids at school?

I remember 1 or 2 of you writing about being young mothers, and how

it has been difficult getting doctors to listen to you, without

prejudice for the fact that you are young, and what you have had to

do to get it through their thick heads that you can handle all this.

HELP!!! We need the stories, paragraphs, whatever, by next

Wednesday, October 15th. You can email me at magicrss@

mindspring.com or Katy at rss2katy@ hotmail.com. Please email us

right away and let us know if you can do this and what your topic

is, so we can save a spot in the document (and stop panicking as

well...).

Thank you! and Katy
