Thank you SO much, Sue! This is wonderful and I will send this on to the
mother as soon as I find out how Sophia wants to communicate. The mom would
probably really appreciate being in touch with other parents in the same
situation. Thank you, again! j

Hi Jeanne,
There are 2 children that Ive become close to in the last few years. There
is Cole Ross from Canada (neilandwe...@rogers.com) whos parents are Neil
and Wendy. He developed TM as an infant and I believe is 10 or 11 now.
Also there is Maria Hoge from Pennsylvania (ho...@msn.com) whos parents are
Pam and Morgan. Pam and I are co-chair for the PA support group. Maria
also was struck as an infant and is now I believe also around 9, 10....etc.
Pam is a nurse and is so knowledgeable about all the care involved for a
child with TM. Wendy is also what I consider an expert on the subject as
she has been the primary caregiver for Cole as well. I would think either
child would relate well, but probably Maria would be a little more receptive
to an on-line, phone, or snailmail relationship with another. You know how
boys are. But either way, I would contact the parents and see what you
could set up. I know there is another child (Rachael) that the Reading for
Rachael program is for on the TM website, but I dont know the family
personally. Hope this helps!

Hi, everyone, I recently found out about a little girl in the third grade
that is really having a tough time with her TM and needs to find some other
children or even someone that might have been stricken with TM when they
were young and are older now. I am getting the details to see how she can
chat' with someone but this is my first step. Sure hope someone can help
her.. Jeanne in Dayton
