I mostly just lurk here these days.  My name is Robyn and my daughter
Brenna who is 3, has Crouzons syndrome.  I just wanted to mention that
there is a free packet that anyone can order from the Cleft Palate
foundation that has the 'set standards and parameters of care of Cranio
Facial teams'.  WE used it for battling our insurance company when we
wanted to go out of state for her care.  It is an excellent source if info
regarding CF teams and what qualities them.  It is really an good resourse
for us parents who have to choose what is best for our childrens needs.

You may call Cleftline at 1 - 800- 24-CLEFT to request it.
Good luck with everything!

Myrtle beach sounded like a blast!  I'm jealous!  :- )

It sounds as though you all had a great time.  I am so jealous.  Thomas
and I must join you next year.  I have enjoyed reading about your
adventures and your feelings.  Thank you for sharing.  The pictures on
the Club House site are wonderful.  What great shots.  Everyone looks so
good and so happy.

Warmly, Dori

I know I don't write often to the listserver, but now that I have some
time, I would like to make a few comments.  I skim over the messages that
are sent to the listserver and go by subject headings of whether or not to
read the message if it may be relevant to me or my sister, otherwise as
you all know, its a lot of messages to read.  Anyway, it was wonderful
that a number of families could make it to Myrtle Beach.  I know I had
looked into going with my sister Jeany, but with the exchange rate, the
cost would have been close to $2000 CDN to go.  The timing as Cathy
mentioned may move back later like the end of June when all kids and
teachers (like myself) are out of school.  My main comment is that maybe
the get togethers can move around every year.  Now I think before,
Christine Clark had get togethers once a year with her group in different
locations.  Correct me if I am wrong.  Myrtle Beach is an expensive place
to go.  Of course, I am a Canadian so its even more expensive with the
exchange rate.  Since most of the people on the listserver are American,
it would be better if we could have a get together in Canada like Niagara
Falls, Canada which is also popular tourist destination since the dollar
is better for Americans.  I know Robyn McDonald has tried to get some
families together there with no success.  It would be nice if we could set
something up.  I believe there was a family that was planning to visit the
Falls and ended up in Myrtle Beach for their vacation???  Just a thought.
My sister really wants to meet others with Aperts, but we have not been
able to set anything up.  If we start planning early, people can start
saving up as well.

I welcome any comments.

Hi everyone.  I'm one of those silent readers that doesn't very seldom
speak up but enjoys listening.  My son Donald, 8 yrs in July, has Apert.
My husband and I both work and have Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance.  PA
has a Medical Assistance program that covers all expenses of a handicapped
child that your insurance doesn't NO MATTER WHAT THE PARENT'S INCOME.  My
last appointment with them, I asked if other states also have this program
since it is federally funded.  The caseworker told me some do some don't
but check with your public assistance office.  20% of those $$150,000.00
bills is alot of money.  Doctors don't usually know about it and most
people don't ask. Check it out it's been wonderful here in PA.  No more "We
accept mastercard and Visa notes when the bills not paid.  Florida has the
program but you have to go to certain hospitals so check it out for your
state.  We deserve to save as much money as possible.  Again, it does not
go according to the family income!

Just a question.  Our insurance is through Rick's office but we pay the
whole premium.  His employer has been looking to change insurance
companies since the rates have become very high and it effects the whole
group.  I just found out that everone else in the group has been
switched to a new group with lower premiums and we were left the old.
Is this legal?  How do I find out?

   Check with your state insurance commissioner -- but be aware that
the employer may have done it because the new group refused to take
on the pre-existing conditions covered under the old one.  Leaving
you on the old coverage may have been the only way to ensure that
your child still had insurance.  Check that out before you file any
complaints.

       Itching and scaling are also signals if they last for more
than a few days.  In fact, any odd-looking skin lesion needs to be
checked out.  The  vast majority are OK, but squamous cell lesions
can cause significant disfigurement if you ignore them.  BTW, ears
and nose are very high-risk places. Most of us forget the sunscreen
on ears and don't put enough on noses. They stick out and they have
fairly thin skin.

     You don't say which ear, but odds are very high
that it's on the same side as the side of the car you most often sit
on.  Want to know why I'm guessing that? I had a scare recently --
turned out to be a benign lesion, but the dermatologist said that men
tend to get skin cancer on the left hand, ear, and arm more commonly
-- and women on the right.  She says it's because of the side of the
car we most often sit on.  OTOH, I'm more likely to be in the
driver's seat on sunny days and the passenger seat evenings since my
DH works days & I don't, so that probably doesn't apply to me. She
also said that fingers and the backs of hands are high risk due to
the time spent in the car.

  Bottom line, if you have a skin lesion, get it checked out. Have
someone look at your back and the backs of your legs for you -- those
are the most common places to find melanomas.

I would like to put my thoughts in on this.

As much as i enjoy travelling and seeing more of this world, I feel that =
changing locations every year could impose some problems.  If left as =
is, this would be a trip that everyone knows about for every year.

by being at the beach,  there are tons of things to do but not only =
that, the kids are entertained daily by just being at the hotel.  Yo =
don't have to worry about what are we going to do today to keep our kids =
entertained,

Yes, I agree that it is a big expense but so would any vacation. there =
are other places to stay rather than the Crownreef that are less costly.

It is very easy to get with the other families that are at the beach.

My fear of relocating to various places would be having to be at a =
certain place with the group at all times of day.  tired, crabby kids =
and adults with no where to go.

Even if it were in disney, all the attractions alone could be a killing =
expense.

i really see no problem if there were more than one gettogether a year =
to accomodate people living in various locations,  I may even go to more =
than just Myrtle Beach,  but personally I feel that this to be an annual =
thing should be left to rest.

Niagara falls sounds nice but what else is there to do?

Nothing personal here, just my thoughts.

Congratulations and welcome to the Fullmers, Drew, Lorrie, Amanda,
Randy, Fallon, Charles and The newest Apert kid Clarice.

        We are the Ize's, Claudia, Carlos, Rafael and Felipe from Tulsa,
Oklahoma. Rafael and Felipe are twins and they are going to be 4 in
September. Felipe was born with Apert's. Like you, just one kid was
affected. I know is not ease to take care of two babies at the same
time, but as everybody uses to say, God never gives you more than you
can handle!!! We survived, you can trust me on that!
        I want to wish you good luck on your journey. Hope to hear from you
soon!!

        Take care,
        Claudia Ize.

I would like to add my two cents to this as well.
We live on a limited income for the time being, and Myrtle Beach is a
five hour drive for us, so it was the only possibility of us (the Holt
Family) having the oppertunity to be a part of this wonderful reunion.
I would love to go to Myrtle Beach next year as well.  We enjoyed our
stay!  We can't wait for next year, hopefully at Myrtle Beach!
I ditto what Judy said, nothing personal but it is my two cents!

Robyn,

Thanks for the information!  I just called to request the pamphlet.  I want
all the ammunition I can get to fight the insurance company with.  Kieran saw
his ped. gastroenterologist for his reflux today, and he said he would also
include a note in his report saying that we needed a craniofacial team.  The
more doctors who note it, the better for us!

Unfortunately, we didn't get to Myrtle Beach this year either, but I'm going
to try my darndest to make it next year!

Thanks again,
Sherry

 Hi all I just thoughuld write to you guys while Iam trying to stay cool
here in very hot Calif.

    Laura-Your picture of lttle Martha and Eddie is adorable. Little Martha
doesn't even look like she has Aperts. Has she have any surgerys? You should
enter that in a contest. It's so summertime fun! And they both know spanish
and English thats great! They will go far in this world! I love it.I can see
why you are so proud of them I would be too! Where are you from? I would
like to meet you sometime if I can? That is if your close by.

      Welcome to the family Fullmers, My name is Maxine Reed and Iam 45
years old with Aperts! I too live in Calif. I live in hot hot Modesto,
Calif. Where do you live? You'll find this a great place to get lots of info
and and a great place to meet alot of neat people. You can find out more
about me on Teeter's page and see a picture of my family and I. been married
for 15 lovely years to a wonderful man named Bob and we have a 15 year old
going on 20 daughter named Sarah she's our pride and joy and she's a very
normal teenager without Aperts. If you have any questions you can E-mail me
here or at rreed@cableone.net privately. or call me at (209)524-2141. I'll
be happy to answer any questions that you have. Again Welcome to the family.

I also want to welcome the other new familys. You to can ask me any
questions I'll be happy to answer any of them.

 I too want to thank you Don for this wonderfull listsever and Teeter's
page. I love the beach pictures their great!! Did you ever get my pictures
scanned so I can send them out?

Sandra, I too wear hearing aids in both ears and I hear so much better. I
just got them a couple of months ago. All these years I have had troubled
with hearing, and this year I found out that it's part of the Aperts. But I
don't think it afects all of us with aperts though. I think there's surgery
that can correct it though. You might find out about it. Iam too old to have
any more surgerys (45).

 I agree with Judy and staying at Mrytle Beach. Thereis alot to do and there
are cheaper hotels.It's just a fun place to be for kids and Adults. But Iam
game to go other places if I can afford it. I have gone to the Calif. get
togathers with Christine Clark. By the way Christine is there another one
comming up? I'd like to go if we can have a get togather? How are you doing
by the way? Iam doing great!

 Well I better close. My computer is ether getting to hot or Iam hot and
making misstakes. Sorry fot the misstakes. Hope you can understand what I
said and meant what I said. Take care all. Love ya all Max

Hi all,

I really must also agree with Judy on the subject of keeping Myrtle
Beach as the once a year reunion spot.  It is a great place to take the
family.  We were only there for two days, but let me tell you next year
one week for sure.  We will be hitting the water parks and all those
other amusement parks etc.  The Crown Reef is wonderful it's well worth
it, especially that lazy river.....We know how long it takes us to get
there and basically how much we would need to save up for next years
visit give or take a few bucks or shall I say several bucks?  Planning
other reunions at other places isn't a bad idea for those that can't
make it to Myrtle Beach can then plan to attend other reunions.....My
three cents...

Raquel Miller....

Denise,

Thanks for the information.  I'll definitely be looking into those doctors.
I'm also going to get in touch with Dr. Jackson to see who, specifically, he
had in mind.

Sandra,

We've been warned that hearing loss is a constant threat with Apert's.  Kieran
is only 3 months old and is already battling his third ear infection - all have
been in his right ear.  He'll probably need tubes in the future if this
continues.  From what I understand, it is a very common problem.

Hi, My name is Sheryl Klemm and I have only known about Aperts since
February of this year.  February of next year I shall be marrying a
wonderful man with Aperts and taking on the responsibility of helping him
raise his 8-year old daughter who also has Aperts.

I can tell from all the posts I have read (I've been lurking since just
before the Myrtle Beach gathering), that the really worst appears to be
behind me.  Beth will probably have 2 more facial surgeries and perhaps one
more on her fingers (not yet determined if the index and middle finger on
each hand have separate blood vessels).

I am glad to be joining this wonderful family and shall be introducing James
to it when he visits next week (He lives in Virginia and I live in
California--Concord).

I really appreciate all the information I have gleaned, especially the
discussions concerning insurance and standards of care.  A big concern to me
now.

I would love to hear from any of you in California.

Hi All,
I apologize for being slow..but where can I find the addresses for the
picture exchange? With school closing, there is a little slice of time to
send ours out. Just wanted to share a small joy--Nate finishes second grade
today. We had a meeting with all of his teachers and our once-every-three
years evaluations. While the pyschologist who did a screening of his
auditory/visual memory noted that he scored quite low on both, his teacher
said that he was one of two kids in her regular ed class to score 100% on a
math test that covered all of what they'd learned over the year. We all
laughed. Obviously Nate has figured out his own ways to adapt and compensate
and use what he's got to do what he needs to do! School is not easy for him
but he works very hard. These are the moments of pride that every parent has
but feel extra sweet when you know how many struggles are part  of
it...Warmly, Jeanne in Boston

I am glad that other families are able to meet at other locations, so
they can have a reunion as well!  I wish we could attend more than we
are able to.  It was just that we live 5 hours away, and it made our
travel plans simpler.  This is not to say this is the reason we would
like to have it at Myrtle Beach every year.  The children, had a
wonderful time.  We had a place to actually have room for all of us to
gather, and enjoy ourselves. There were many oppertunites for everyone
to have a vacation, plus spend time with other families.     Just
another thought!

Hi there everyone!

Ruth Contreras here...Mom to Kris (15 y/o w/ apert)  I hope everyone is
doing fine...from the sound of your vacation in Myrtle Beach it sounds like
everyone had a great time!!

We took Kris (and her siblings, as she likes to say) to Disneyworld in
Florida...My kids had such a good time..although it rained every single
day.!!  which I thought was good because it was not as hot!!!    Kris  did
not appreciate it..one bit!! But she still enjoyed herself BIG TIME!!!  She
especially enjoyed it...because before we went into the park we got a
"special permit" to allow us ti get in front f the lines..it was totally
awesome!!!  No waiting in line for hours!!!

RE: VACATIONS ,  My 2 cents.... We would have loved to go to Myrtle
Beach..and actually we did have reservations to go..but we decided not to
go..because Kris had been wanting to go to Disney world for about 3 years
now...and you know how it is..surgery after surgery..we finally decided
that she had waited long enough...ANYWAY....

Since we are all spread out through out the country...I think what would be
more convenient for me...is to meet somewhere in the middle...There is
Texas or Oklahoma...Just my 2 cents..

Any other suggestions?

Laura, your kids are toooooooo cute!!! My mother is always getting after me
for not teaching my kids both languages..I try!!!!
Kris is very good at both!! She is very fluent in Spanish...but sometimes
she can get lost...

Adios Mis Amigos!

Ruth Contreras

Hi , I was eavesdropping on your message and read something about a Golden
Access Pass.  Is this for any disability or facial cranial only?  I have a
daughter who is mentally retarded.  She is 12 years old.  By the way I an
reading the listserv mailing because I recently (june 2) had a friend deliver
an aperts baby.

The chances of my family ever making to that part of the country are two:
slim and fat!   But I know you all had a fabulous time because I did get to
a Cleft symposium in California a few years back, and there is nothing like
these reunions.  I'm  thrilled that you all were able to meet at Myrtle Beach.

However, I love to meet other families whom I know via this correspondence.
And ... *I hear tell of a gathering happening in the Northwest early this
summer -- over the fourth of July in Seattle and possibly another around the
Spokane area.

Anyone interested?

Let me know.

It is for anyone who has a disability!  The only thing is, that you have
to have documentation, of the disability,  They aren't difficult to get!
If I can help, let me know!

Hello, this is to warn every one of a new thing happening in communities as a gang initiation and such.  If you care about anyone, please forward this to them immediately so they can learn of the possible harm.  Even if you don't read this, at least forward it to people.

Hello, my name is Tina Strongman and I work at a police station, as a
phone operator for 911.  Lately, we've received many phonecalls pertaining to a new sort of problem that has arisen in the inner cities, and is now working it's way to smaller towns.  It seems that a new form of gang initiation is to go find as many pay phones as possible and put a mixture of LSD and Strychnine onto the buttons.  This mixture is deadly to the human touch, and apparently, this has killed some people on the east coast.

Strychnine is a chemical used in rat poison and is easily separated from the rest of the chemicals.  When mixed with LSD, it creates a substance that is easily absorbed into the human flesh, and highly fatal.

Please be careful if you are using a pay phone anywhere.  You may
want to wipe it off, or just not use one at all.  If you have any
questions, you can contact me at the links listed below.

Please be very careful.
Let your friends and family know about this potential hazard.

Thank you.

      Tina Strongman

Andrea--

Glad to hear everything went okay with the biopsy on your ear.  Thanks for
the info .  I didn't realize that radiation from the xrays could cause skin
cancer. I guess with all the head and face xrays, an ear would be a likely
place.  Can't wait to see those photos. I know you must look fabulous.
Sounds like the recovery process as been very positive.

Welcome to the Fullmers--We are the Sieberts (George, Brenda, Melissa and
Jonathan (2 yrs. old w/ Aperts) from Houston, TX.  It's great that you met
Kelly.  I've met several teenage kids and adults with Aperts at the medical
centers and find it also to be very inspirational.  We just met another 13 yr
old girl at Medical City, Dallas this week and gave them the information to
visit our listserv so hopefully they will join us soon.  We wish you well.

get togethers...  I know we will be up in Seattle July 29th for Courtneys doctors

Mechelle,
Thanks for the info...but do I just let organizations know indivdually that I
have a disabled daughter and then ask if they have discounts?  Or is there an
organization that distributes some kind of pass?  Documentation is the easy
part!!!!

Hi Sheryl,

My name is Kelly. I am almost 18 and I have aperts syndrome. I live in
Roseville, near Concord. I would love to meet you sometime. People have
told me that I am a real inspiration to them, so if you have any
questions, I would be happy to try and answer them.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Hi Laura,

 I am Kelly Spadini, a 17 year old with Aperts syndrome. Where is Harbor
City in relation to Roseville or Sacremento?   I live in Roseville. I
would strongly suggest that you encourage you friend to join the
listserv. Even though there was nothing like this when I was born, it
has still helped me through the year I've been on it. I know it has
helped many other new parents too.

Hi Fullmers,

I am so glad you joined this listserv. I know it has been really helpful
to all the new parents out there. I really wish there would've been
something like this for my mom and dad when I was born. I think all they
got was a piece of paper, and like I think my mom said when we met the
other day, we didn't meet any other people until I was 6. A lot of these
families have ALREADY met other people with Aperts. Some of there kids
aren't even six yet.

I hope to see you again sometime
Kelly Spadini

Jeanne,

You can find the addresses at this address

www.apert.org/pictures/addresses

Please send your address to us and I will send you a picture.  I have a 9 yr
old daughter Lisa with Aperts syndrome.

I love this listserv.  It is great.  I don't always respond but there is
alot of interesting things that come over the listserv.   New things but you
will find that there are alot of similarities but yet some Aperts have
normal intelligence and in our case Lisa is mildly retarded.

The pass is honered and I assume it can be received through Bureau of
Land Management, Fish and wildlife Service, Bureau of Reclamation, US
Ary Corps of engineers, Tennessee Valley Authority,National Parks
service, and the Forest Service

  I will type what appears on the back of the Golden Access
Passport.........

Pass issued to any citizen or permanent resident of the US who as been
medically determined to be blind or permanently disabled for purposes of
receiving benefits under Federal Law.  Pass valid at Federal entrance
fees areas.  Admits passport signee and accompanying passengers in a
single, private, noncommercial vehicle, or alternatively, passport
signee, spouse, and children where entry is by means other than private,
noncommercial vehicle.  Pass is nontransferable and entitles passport
signee ONLY 50% discount on use fees, e.g., camping and cave tours.
Pass is not valid for any special recreation permit fee.  Persons
violating a term or condition of this permit may have this passport
seized and may be subject to a fine and/or imprisonment as provided by
law.

Hope this helps! :))

You will receive an actual pass.  It has a wheel chair symbol on the
front.  I suppose that is to show a disability.
