Gift for Dr Latimer

[dcmom]

I am, as we all are, devestated by Dr Latimer's loss.

 

Even before this, I have so wanted to thank her, for singlehandedly saving my children's childhoods. She has been an unbelievable advocate for our family.

 

I am going to put together a book for her (via shutterfly). I would like to collect letters from her pandas patients (or their parents, or both) about how she has helped. Maybe a brief description of before and after, and the support she has given. I would like to include these letters, with photos of the children, poems, even drawings from some of the kids, whatever we can think of. A positive, beautiful book to show her the difference she makes to so many.

 

The only reference to her son will be in the dedication.

 

If you are her patient, and are interested, please pm me your email- and I will include you in the request letter I send out in the next week or so.

 

Thanks!

It's so hard to know what to say in a tragedy. What a great idea involving our kids in saying thank you in a way that only kids can!

I am not a patient of Dr. Latimer's, but I think this is a beautiful and touching show of support and appreciation. Great idea!

What a wonderful idea! I have been trying to think of something to do for her and I think this is better than anything I had thought about. Please include me. I don't know where we would be without her.

Thank you for doing this!

Thanks! Glad everyone is interested!

[dcmom]

Bump!

 

Just want to make sure everyone who is interested has pm'd me.

 

If you have a pandas frient who is not on the forum, but a patient of Dr L, please reach out to them and if they are interested send me their email.

 

I am going to send out a letter about the project in the next two weeks.

I forgot to say- but there is NO COST to you for participating in this project.

 

I plan to make the book on Shutterfly or snapfish, the cost will be minimal (esp with coupon) and I will take care of it.

 

Thanks again!
