Hi Leah

Did you ever get in touch with my endo? I have been thinking of you a lot

lately. Hope all is well and you are mending from your surgery. Are you

Albertans thinking of going to the convention?

Re: " Meet the Fooses " : Did anyone see this?

Hi Katy,

Our family watched it and the kids were thrilled to see what an

amazing family they were. Olivia fell asleep half way through but

was very touched and it really made her think of challenges

some people face in everyday life. We also talked as a family of

the importance of getting GHT for Olivia to make parts of her life

easier in the future. (the fight that is going no where

unfortunatly)

They sure were a wonderful family though!
