Great list! Hi! You don't know me, but I came across your blog while searching for OI info. I'm Melissa, a stay at home mom to 3 girls. Our youngest daughter is Sonya and she has Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 3/4. I don't mean to pry or give you false hope, but Sonya was dealt a death sentence while I was pregnant with her. We were told she had either lethal Campomelic Dysplasia or lethal type 2 OI. She is 17 months old and doing great despite her 11 fractures. Every day she amazes me! There is a support group for parents of OI children at http://www.health.groups.yahoo.com/group/OIparents/ If you request to join with a brief introduction of yourself, the parents there are very knowlegable and friendly. There are some type 2 survivors there too! I'm sorry if I am being too forward, you don't even know me. I'm just trying to offer help, since it was never offered to us when we were in this situation. We also have a blog at http://www.swartley.blogspot.com if you would like to read some of Sonya's journey with OI and some other everyday stuff too! Praying for you!
