    Off to London

    Hi everyone,

    Well after long thought and the events of this week I have made up my mind and will be heading to London in the morning. I will be attending the Cardiomyopathy Associations Medical Conference. I will be heading to the UK to hear the European thoughts on HCM and management of HCM. I will be back in NJ on Sunday.

    Becca is doing just fine and will have a nice few days with her dad.

    The Vickie Keller Run is this weekend and I wish them all the best with the event! I recieved calls from 2 radio/TV stations in the area who seemed interested in covering the event!

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Lisa

                That's great, it'll be interesting to hear their views and see if they are doing things different in the treatment of HCM.
                I hope you're taking time to do some touring as well, have a great time.
                Every great thing that has ever happened since the beginning of time has started as a single thought in someones mind.
                So if you are capable of thought then you are capable of great things
                Good luck and stay well.

                    Hey,
                    With Lisa gone, do you think it would be OK to say nice things about her behind her back?

                    And I hope Becca grows up to be just like her mom – but they are awfully big shoes to try to fill. Better for her if she leads her own life. Anyway, by time she’s an adult just maybe stem cell research will have paid off to the point where they can make the genetic changes necessary to stamp out HCM altogether. Whoa, wouldn’t that be something?

                      I hope you're right, Burt...I'm all for stem cell research...guess who I'm voting for?? (that's just ONE reason )
