Hi this is dr raj singh, I have thought and look to be in contact with you for a long time...now finally I came across your site and I am sending you this mail.
Yes, I do remember you and your husband....you both have a great positive spirit and heart. I was glad we connected at the PPMD meeting and grateful for the ride to Philadelphia.
Please keep me updated and please let us stay connected. I would like to hear of your son and how things are going for you all.
The colleges have a Disabilities office but they don't provide funding for personnel aid. I have heard really good things about Edinbourgh College in PA. This college seems to be able to handle all types of disabilities. We did the financial aid forms and are seeking out scholarships now. Keeping out fingers crossed.
Hi Bev, Thank you for your note. Can you believe that our sons are going off to College. Truly great accomplishments for our boys. Yes, I think Jon would also like to stay in the Dorm, but did express some nervousness about needing someone to help him. So, I think it is little releived that his is living at home. Love the pics of you guys. You all look great!
Beverly, thank you so much for your note. What a kind offer. I would love to take you up on it. I enjoyed the photos of your family. They are beautiful. I will send you a note in mid-Sept once school gets underway and we can arrange a get-together. I spend a lot of time in Gladstone. My two youngest attend pre-school at the Wellspring School. It will be my pleasure to meet you and I look forward to it. Enjoy your summer. Carolyn
Thank you for the document you posted with the anesthetics to be aware of. My son Jonathan (17) has to have a procedure for kidney stones and I printed out your list to take with us to his pre-op appointment and pre-surgery check in at the hospital. Again Thanks!!!!
Hi Beverly,
I enjoyed your slideshow. When did Anthony get to meet Emeril. Adam would be jealous. He loves the food network. In fact made most of Christmas Dinner based on Emeril's recipes he learned while bored at CHOP during one of our PTC visits.

Hi Beverly,
Unfortunately I'm not going to DC. We are too busy with the PTC and MRI trial right now. I do know someone looking for a roommate though. I'll send a private e-mail. Joanne
Hi Beverly. I don't know her but I actually moved to Hillsborough last summer so I don't know a ton of people around here. We were actually living in Bedminster before that!
Your family looks amazing, and Anthony is leading a wonderful and worthwhile life thanks to his own will and the dedication of your family. That's all any of us can hope for, that our lives are meaningful and fulfilling, how ever long we are here. My little grandson Skyler is just 5 and hopefully he will have a chance to experience as much as your son has. Sincerely, Barbara
