Hi Rene,

Have no idea how long it will take for you to receive Outreach. Here is the link to the camp part.

I sure hope you all can make it down for camp this year. It would be wonderful seeing you and Caralyn again.

I'm so glad that everyone remembers us. Sheila you are so right about Connor, Brittany and Tarakyn they are so cute together. I have such a cute picture of all three of them when we went to dinner in D.C. And Kathy I can't tell how true it is about Connor being so comfortable. I think that is the only time in his life that he feels so free. And since he is now suffering with RSD it would probably be a good time for him to go to camp and have fun. Karen also thank you for thinking of us too. As you said moving is exciting, but I hate the packing. We will see you all in 2009. Linda, Dave, Ciera and Connor Swetof

I am so happy for you guys with your new houes..I am not sure that Tarakyn and I would have made camp this year if it wasnt so close (less than 60 miles for us), cuz I started working for Boeing in January, we just bought a new house last month, and my dad passed away the 1st of the month, so I had to bring his estate home, so now we kinda have 2 houses into one. So things have been so hectic for us..but on a really happy note, I am finally getting married!! So I will no longer be Sheila Turner (Tarakyn will still be a Turner) but I am becoming an Acosta. Tarakyn and I absolutely enjoy camp, and it is our Mother/Daughter time.
We still have not received our Outreach either..but keep an eye out for it.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.

My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!

I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".
There is NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION.

Hello Sheila,

Congratulations on your up coming marriage, and surely thank you for your post and update on you and Tarakyn on the "Camp 2007" Post.

We have missed you two and how is Tarakyn doing? growing, I bet!

My condolances on the death of your father, Sheila; you have had a tough couple of months. Dealing with a parent's Estate is alot of work and can be emotionally
draing too. I do hope you are taking care of yourself too.

Can't wait to see you both at Camp

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.
