Conference in Park City/Salt Lake City

[Coaster Crazy]

Just realized its been a month and a half since I visited this site. Hope all had a nice holiday season. I've missed soooooooo much here!!!!! Having a hard time keeping everyone straight with their new sign on names. Anyhow, was wondering if anyone was attending the Hydro Conference in June, and if so, where are you planning to stay? I really want to go, however, my work situation has been very hectic. Unsure if I will be able to take time off. Just curious. Stacy;)

I have gone for the past few times and it has been great. I was hoping to be able to go to this next one as well. I am planning on it for now, but as everyone here knows, anything can happen between now and then. The hydrocephalus association website has info about it and will send out more detailed info later on regarding speakers and whatnot. I usually stay wherever the association recommends.

we will be there. I booked my room a couple of months ago, at the same hotel the conferance is in. Then after, we are going to the canyon lands. Cannot wait to see all the wonderful geology.

Do you like to ride roller coasters?
I hope you do with all those coasters in PA.
Dorney Park
Hershey Park.

I like coasters.
SheiKra is a blast.
I rode it 9 x's in one day.

I'm still hoping to go, but we'll have to see about the money supply. :rolleyes: My daughter also has her appt scheduled for her road test on the 20th :eek:, but I might be able to work around it.

I had also planned to room with Gina. :( Anyone else who needs a roomie, or might need one, I may be available.


LIZARD :)

We went several years ago when it was in San Francisco. It was such an amazing experience. The first day, when they invited everyone with hydrocephalus to come to the front of the room, I sat and cried like a baby - I knew that we weren't the only family dealing with hydro, but seeing all of those people - it just really made me feel less alone. (We'd gone through a bit of a rough stretch with Marijke's shunt, and we don't know anyone else in our area who live with this, and we were so overwhelmed...)

We'll have to look at the schedules and review the finances, but I'd love to go and maybe take Marijke & Teaghan along this time...

Regarding your comments - I knew that we weren't the only family dealing with hydro, but seeing all of those people - it just really made me feel less alone. (We'd gone through a bit of a rough stretch with Marijke's shunt, and we don't know anyone else in our area who live with this, and we were so overwhelmed...)

When I first learned of my "hydrocephalus", it came as a personal phone call from my family physician (while he was giving his 3 year old daughter a bath at his residence at 7:30 PM in the evening). The first thing he said to me was to sit down, and not to panic. After I picked my heart up off the floor, he proceeded to tell me my MRI results. The next thing he said was to report to the NS first thing in the morning and to not do any research on hydrocephalus on the internet until after I saw the NS. :eek:

I so want to attend this years conference to meet others who have "traveled in my path". Thanks for your reply. Stacy.
