Re: Dont forget about the chat room !

I haven't been on in months, but see that this is a cool feature of the new layout. So how about we just pick a time, like I'll say i'll be here tomorrow starting at 5am central time.

Re: New Here and Need immediate help!!! PLEASE

<t>It is important that she see a BPI specialist. Unfortunately that usually involves travel as there aren't too many. You can search the Resources link at the top of this page and find a listing of dr by state, I think. Many of the parents with children see Dr Nath, I have also seen Dr Kozin's name...
