Tonight's meeting

There will be a meeting tonight at 7:00pm in the same room that we have been in from the begining.I am hoping to get a few new faces tonight because the meeting have been very sparsely attended.

We will most likely talk about how we can get more members to come to our meetings because I still think that it is important that heart teens and young adults have their own place to talk and to vent just like their parents do.I don't think teenagers like to admit that they aren't "perfect" so that's why they seem to be reluctant to come to the meetings.

Hope to see you there!

Apologies

I apologize for not keeping up with the blog over the last six months.

Our meetings have not been happening every month,but now that it is a new year I am hoping to have it running on a more consistant basis.We are back to having the meetings on the last Tuesday of every month at 7:00 unless it is specifically stated that a meeting will either not be happening that month or the meeting will be in a different location.

I am hoping that with this new year comes more participants in our group.I think that teenagers with chronic health issues such as cardiac problems are not willing to admit that they aren't healthy so they don't want to participate in something that proves that they are not in perfect health.I am hoping this group can offer teenagers and young adults the knowledge that it is okay to need help or support sometimes and that no one is normal.Everyone has problems.Some are just more visible than others.

Looking forward to our next meeting which will be on February 24th at 7:00pm in the same room.

Our Meeting

We will be having our meeting this week at our new day which is Tuesday.The meeting will still be at the same time and in the same room.Jami,thank you for volunteering to bring a treat for this meeting.I am hoping that this change in day will be better for more people.

See you all Tuesday the 26th!

State Fair

We have recieved free admission to the State Fair this Thursday the 21st of August.If anyone would like to go with our group of families affected by CHD's,please let me know.We get in an hour earlier so we will be meeting at 11:00am.

Hope to see people there!

Changes confirmed

It has been decided for certain that the meetings will now take place on the last Tuesday of every month.I hope that it is not a inconvience for anyone and I hope that this way we may get more people wanting to attend our group.The meeting time and place will remain the same.

The meeting

Last Thursday's meeting was a low key meeting with only Jami and I in attendance.We celebrated Jami's birthday on that night since we did not have a meeting in June and her birthday is June 30th.We spent the two hours catching up since we hadn't seen each other in several months.Towards the end of the meeting we made some doorknob decorations for the kids who were stuck in the hospital.They were taken up to the 6th floor Pediatrics after the meeting was over and given to the kids in the ICU.

This week

We will be having a meeting this week on Thursday at 7:00 in the same room that we have been holding it.I would like to know who plans on comming this thursday.I know for a fact that the parent support group will have Dr. Crockett as a speaker.He is one of the pediatric anesthesiologists at Sutter.

Hope to see a lot of people there.
