Lines: 38 I want to thank all who responded to this. I tryed to send a note to everyone who responded, but some of the mail bounced. Linda Collins, the social worker in charge of the case asked me to post the following for her. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to thank all of you who responded to the request for information on summer computer camps for the 14 year old dialysis patient. There were 19 replys from 19 wonderful people who provided invaluable information on many camps which looked appropriate. A special thanks goes to Carol Boyer who not only responded via computer but responded personally to this social work via telephone. Susan Finkelman also went above and beyond the call of duty. Unfortunately, it was decided in a meeting with the boy, his mother and the physician that it would be better for him not to go this year. It is likely, however, that he will be up to going next year and we are already looking into the possibilities. There is a 4-H camp in Reidsville, N. C. which is quite close to our medical center (and his doctor) which looks appropriate if they offer it next year. If not, we now have a wealth of resources to turn to. Also, there is a dialysis camp in Winder Ga. that accepts dialysis patients and even has computers, though it is not the focus of the camp. I wish you could have seen the patients face when he was presented your computer mail and he found out he was the subject of a national network of computers. He will get hours of enjoyment deciphering all the coding. Again, thanks to all of you who responded. God bless you all. You too, Andy.
