Chapter meeting recap by: Janice Quatrale
We were fortunate
to have a guest
speaker Agnes T. O’Connor, L.M.S.W.,
attend the meeting to discuss living with
a child who has a chronic disease and the
affects it has on the family and the healthy
siblings. Michele A Kelly CPNP,NPP
also attended to answer questions, add
support. If there are further questions
or you would like to meet with them, they
were kind enough to leave us their telephone
numbers to contact them; Michele A. Kelly: 631-444-8184
or 631-754-2559 Agnes T. O’Conner: 631-219-8347.
It was good to
have new families join us. We all
spoke of our challenges and triumphs
of kidney disease and our hope for the
future.
Thank you to Paulette and Child Life for
providing a fun time for the children who
attended and for all who brought and baked
the delicious goodies.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at
our next meeting on Tuesday, March
11 at 7:00 p.m. on the 11th floor
