I received confirmation from Dr. Cotton yesterday that he will speak at our next Conference, which is slated for June 1-3, 2006. Â*Mark your calendars now. Â*It will be held in St. Louis again. Even if your child is trach-free by then, it's a great opportunity to meet your trach board friends. Â*

Well, I had thought we would be decanned by the first one! I will put this on the calendar as a possiblity. That is close to the end of the school year around her, so I will have to wait and see.

Who knows what the future will bring!

Godspeed

Ann,

It would be great if we could make it. Hopefully by then my wife and I will have a few days of spare free time built back up again. You were right that the last two days were not good for our leave balances, but my wife and I tag teamed it at the hospital so we only lost one day each.

Are you sure it's not for June 1-3 of 2005? Just wondering? When I saw the e-mail telling us about it, I was hoping it would be this year, in 2005. Rosie

The date is most definitely 2006! There's too much involved in putting a conference together to do one every year. Trust me, June 2006 will be here before you know it! Looking forward to meeting many more of you at the next conference.
