I just wanted to say Hello to you! I found your blog through a Google search for House Bill 578. Do you have a child with EGID? My 10 year old son has it,and we are supposed to start on Elecare this week. I am excited and thankful that insurance must pay for this now.
We also live in Maryland, and I can knit, but crochet is my first love! I'll take a look around your blog some more.
Take care,
Karen
Karen, my 10 year old Sachy whom you can see on the blog has EG. He was 100% formula fed, part gtube and part oral from the time he was 1 until a few months ago. He's actually currently in the first remission of his life right now, though actually he's been sick the last 2 weeks but we think it's viral.
Where in MD do you live? You can email me through the blog or at elise (dot) cohen (at) verizon (dot) net
