- 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.

A lesson in giving.
My girls went through their rooms today and picked things to donate. We gathered up 3 big boxes full and we all went to the shelter @ a local church to drop it off.

I've gotten some good news! My friends that went to the north bank made it through the hurricane and went further away today to relatives! I had another email from another friend who went to Robert, LA.
Still no word on E.J. and some others, but I am happy to know that Lori and her family and Leigh are alive!
They have a long way to go; please continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers! Thanks so much to all who are doing what they can to help these devestated people. Their homes are gone; their livelyhood is gone; they need so much...so many people who need humanity and kindness.
Sorry if I'm rambling. I'm overwhelmed with emotion.

Re: God Bless Anyone in the area affected by Katrina
It is so overwelming! I feel so sad. I want to help, so I have been calling a lot to try to donate clothes,etc. The Red Cross isnt ready for clothes yet. They need food, water, soap, blankets and pillows. They also need baby formula and stuff to feed the kids, like juice boxes and snacks. At my Husbands Home Depot store, they are sending 7 associates and the Mgr. in a RV to go feed people, or whatever they can do. Two associates at his store have lost family members. Keep Praying and God Bless us all.

Re: God Bless Anyone in the area affected by Katrina
I have a missing cousin. He is an adult, not a child. This situation is just horrible. 4 days later and still 10's of thousands still on rooftops and stranded elsewhere. What in the world? women are getting raped, people beaten and robbed. Do we not live in America? It looks and sounds more like a 3rd world country and not like 2005. I am so upset, these people are just dying from starvation, dehydration, and need meds.

I spent an endless amount of time on the phone waiting to talk to someone at the Red cross; once I finally got a live person to talk to, I was told:
"The American Red Cross is not in a position to go looking for people
today; nor are the local officials.. It is up to individuals to take
care of themselves as best they can. It is unsafe to go into the
neighborhoods in New Orleans today."
That was this morning; I hope that tune has changed now.

Re: God Bless Anyone in the area affected by Katrina
I contacted my local Red Cross to see about donating the meds. I have(about $700.00 worth) that I cannot take due to allergic reactions that I had with them. They are still in oringinal containers with all info. on them. They told me they don't accept "drug" donations. Go figure. It sickens me that they are sitting on top of my fridge collecting dust when someone down there could possibly be in need of it. God be with them.
