Hi all,

I'm sad to say we cannot come this time.  I have truly enjoyed the last 2 and everyones love and encouragement meant so much.  Taylor (Ashley) is doing well.  She finished the spring semester at SIU-E and is halfway through nursing school; 2 years to go.  He surgeries didn't give her the smile we had hoped for but the symetry is great at rest. 

I'll miss seeing you all again and hope to make the next one.  Sorry Phyl.  I know the bad girls club just won't be the same.  LOL

The pic looks great! Look at you 2!  And yes..... I was really hoping to have a lovely reunion of the "bad girls club".... you have NO idea!  :'(  But, truly understand!  It won't be the same without you and Ash........ will do some Piratitude for you both!  MAJOR kudos to Ash for her schooling! She's going to make a fantastic nurse... for ALL she has been through.... she will truly understand and demonstrate the compassion it takes for nursing as one that has been through SO much!  I'm so dang proud of her (and you!) Go ahead and embarrass her for me by sharing this.... she's fun to make blush!  :-*

DonnaLynn..... oy, what can I say?  One of these days........ truly.... one of these days. My love to you, to Jim and my very dear V!  :-*  One of these days......


Ok, list showing as of now.  Almost a week to go. Anyone else?

Hi Kathy, I am sorry to hear that you won't be there.     So great to hear of how school is going for Taylor and she will be a super nurse.      It does make a difference when one knows what it feels like to be on the other side.          I know the no good smile is not fun but just to look ok at rest is a big deal too as I deal with that also.       I hope it all goes well for her from here on out and she is a super young woman!      Hugs to you both!              Cheryl R

The symposium link on the home page might have some answers.    The airport is over stateline in kentucky and not sure how much taxi or shuttle costs.      Most will stay at the hotel where the symposium is.       Someone might be interested in sharing a room.     Judy or the event planner might know.                   Have to go so more if needed later.       Cheryl R

Back again.    Went for ice cream with our neighbors.        I am not sure what other hotels are near the symposium and if all the special rate rooms would be taken.   It is in downtown area so may or may not be some cheaper hotels nearby.     The rate for the symposium is higher now than when first could register.     It does include ones food from Fri eve on if one goes to a Fri eve session thru Sun brunch.              I did not look at the symposium info on the home page also.              Time is going fast if one wants to come at last minute.                      Cheryl R

Host hotel is the Hilton Netherlands in Cinci. I believe the taxi/shuttle from airport is approx $50-$60 round trip.

DonnaLynn, you KNOW I'd love to FINALLY meet you but only if things allowable on your end. :)
Kaybo.......... wanted to talk new Pirates with that scallywag of your's (I saw the most recent Pirates movie last weekend!).... I'm SO sorry you all won't be there.
AnneMarie.... oy.  Will truly be thinking of you while there...... Just like DonnaLynn...... one of these days.... I know it!  :-*


I am aware of the McGowens attending, who are newbies here on the forums, based here locally in Mass. Got email from them last night and will add them to the list of Forumites attending as well. They are a truly lovely couple whom I first met at one of the local support group meetings. Our local Suppor Group facilitator, who is also on this forum, will be added to the list as well.

Although most of the folks I see on the "of forum" list will probably go Tim/Migoi who?, we will be going to the symposium. Will arrive on Thursday afternoon. Look forward to meeting new folks and remembering those I've met before.

See you all next week...

..thanks for being..t

DL..... thanks for trying and don't you DARE worry about not being there physically as we KNOW you are there in spirit!  :-*  :-*  :-*

Tim... noted. Will be great to see you 2 again! :)

jennifer, looking forward to meeting you!

ANA still following this thread. Trying to confirm if they do, in fact, have something in mind for us (ie: an event).  They did make "ANA Discussion Forum Member" ribbons again for our nametags that we can put on if we want.  By using them, will be great to identify those of you here  that will be in attendance in Cinci.  If my old age memory serves me right, based on conversations with the ANA, I believe they are also, once again, setting up lunch table for the Forumites (not sure if Friday or Saturday). Please keep an eye open for it. At the last symposium, many of the dr's found us at the Forumite tables and joined us for lunch!

Stand by for updates! :)
