Feedback:Comments: "I commend parents with
disabled children and their dedication to promoting a lifestyle that is
fulfilling and rewarding. As a pediatric nurse, I marvel at the coping and
organizational skills of their very special parents. I would love to hear from
some of these parents. I am interested in finding out more about special
families on vacation. Do you go on family vacations? How do you prepare and
what helps you with this task? Would you utilize a service that provided
assistance in organizing, arranging and planning your vacation?" --

Feedback:While I didn't take the time to read
all of the topics listed on this site <grin>, I certainly
found this site to be both informative and easy to read. I also liked the fact
that the author included citations so that I could pass information on to my
own pediatrician if need be. I was especially pleased to see that the
information that included breastfeeding was very accurate; too often I have
been disappointed by the lack of training of our pediatricians in this area. I
think I'll be checking out this site in the future to find out what other
issies have been listed. -- Kat Dyer
