Yes I am very thankful for Pat's presence!!!! It was very unexpected!!! I am soooo excited and I prey we get a huge turn out!
Myself and a few others down here in GA are very passionate about this disease. We have been hit hard some children still sick after 4 years living on feeding tubes, having granmal seizures and fighting to stay alive! Something has to change! They were innocent just jumping in a pile of leaves in there back yard here in GA and BAM sick as a dog! No one could tell them for a year until they found Dr.J!!! THe GOD!!!!
I hope god blesses us with acknowledgement and awareness!!!!
Thank you Tincup for the kind words!
Take Care, Onmyway

Thank you so much!!! I'm pretty sure that my husband can drive, but if not I will most definitally ask for help getting there!
Did you set this up???? If so, how???? No matter, God bless you dear!!!
I'm going to go to the site on your post to see if there is some sort of flyer that I can print out. I'll get to as many people and DOCTORS as possable.
I live about 40min. from the Fl. border. If there is anyone in this area that needs help, please let me know. If I'm able, I will help as much as I can.
You mentioned that there are some children that are dying???? That just sickens me!!!! We are being hit hard here and most of the Dr.'s will not even aknolegde Lyme!!!! Do you know where these children live??? If so, please PM me.
Thank you TC!!!!

I will be there!! I grew up in Georgia and actually lived in Roswell for a brief period of time. I live in Mississippi now - but I know it'll be worth the drive.
Onmyway, Thank you so much for setting this up! See you there!

Thank you Scared08 for bumping this!!!! I was just coming to do the same thing!!!!!
We are one week away!! I am sooooooo excited and we are going to have a great turn out!!
The one thing I should have put on the flyer is for people to bring something to write on so when Pat does her presentation they can take notes. There will be a lot of information exchanged at this forum! There are also a lot of Dr's coming so I am very excited for spreading awareness!!!!!
Hope everyone is doing ok!!!
Take Care and for those of you coming I will see you soon!!!!

Just get a group from Texas together and put it on! I am sure you could use someone's church and then deligate out little things to others and then it will all come together! Hey I just started this by myself and ran with it! People jumped on board and I had one other lady who is really working with me but besides her I had some very kind people to offer to help and I took them up on it!
I cannot tell you the excitement and gratification I will have when this is done and knowing we have educated that many more people!!!! I was very fortunate to have the presence of Pat Smith! That just fell in my lap but besides that we were already planning on showing the movie but then we were able to add her to the event!!!!
I am even getting calls from Dr's letting me know they are going to be there! I have a permagrin on my face!! It will be there until this i over!!
Okay I am done rambeling!!
Hugs to all!!!

But Onmyway, I just wanted you to know that I meant you and I don't even know how I did that.
So----THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! Posts: 351 | From Georgia | Registered: Feb 2008

I really wanted to come to this event, but realized I have a scheduling conflict (daughter's homebound instruction-teacher very limited on availability).
Will someone possibly be taking notes and posting a summary of Pat Smith's comments, etc.? I hope to be able to find out a little of what I have missed. Would have liked to meet you all.
Sorry to miss out, Suzy

Honey----Don't be nervous, just look at what you've done, bless your heart!!! My prayers will be with you, Pat Smith, and all of you always!!!
I'm hooked up to my IV now and still praying that somehow we can get there!!!!
Is anybody else that is bed-ridden able to go????? If so, PLEASE tell me how. I have 2 wheelchairs, but I don't know if I can last sitting up for that long. Any suggestions would be wonderful!!!
Thank You!!!
Many prayers will be with you all!!

it's in church; what THEY HAVE ONE?
lauren,
we'd make a great pair of clumsy dancers! i have 2 left feet; do you have 2 right feet?
my beloved, late parents were outstanding dancers! polka and waltz's were there favorite; just like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers ... so smooth!
enjoy yourselves! you've done everything you can to prepare and GREAT ADVERTISEMENT HERE and i'm sure elsewhere.
let us know how many there were etc. ok!
mine was very small; only 7 or 8! but i only had 1 week to advertise and newspaper put it in 1 day PRIOR.

0n my way,

A big thanks to you for all the tireless hard work you did! It was fabulous to meet you in person. My dear husband enjoyed the super informative evening too!
Another big thank you to Pat Smith for her fantastic presentation with the question and answer session.
I'm sorry I couldn't stay after longer and meet other people but I was crashing fast. I was plum tuckered out.
LymieLauren I think you were sitting behind me & my husband during Pat Smith's presentation. You came a long way and I hope you trip home was safe!
