Do they have camps for kids with arthrogryposis?- just curious<br /><br />Kharan said after karate that he was shy and lost limbo on purpose "because i didnt want everyone to see my hands but it no grow back. God made me like this. I dont know why He did but he did" <br /><br />Nothing like trying not to weep over subway. I told him again that I thought it was so i could find him in his orphanage.ywilburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076178904593335745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383774562996504979.post-73390119155393577922012-05-04T16:41:05.262-05:002012-05-04T16:41:05.262-05:00Katie, we want you to come to out on a limb camp n...Katie, we want you to come to out on a limb camp next year!!!!!! <br />You can most likely bring Ellie too... (it has been done before) :)<br />There are several kids at out on a limb with hand differences and leg differences or no arms at all. <br />Sarah has hand differences and prosthetics, so she goes to Out on a Limb with Erika. Erika is the only one with Arthrogryposis though. <br />I would actually say the majority of the kids have hand differences and prosthetics. It just isn't that noticeable when they are all having so much fun. :) I remember Will on baby day. He was SOOOO CUTE! Still is. :)Christie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738612207150868577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383774562996504979.post-42667741151622609152012-05-04T10:56:26.880-05:002012-05-04T10:56:26.880-05:00Ok.

But sometimes I can't make it through without commenting...so could be more to come!<br /><br />Kharan gets so many questions too due to multiple limbs. Kharan also points out every person we pass with missing limbs too though. What you describe with all the questions was Kharan's first year in America! Everywhere we went. Now that he is older not so much. I think that outgoing, life of party kids (like Will and Kharan) seem more approachable? Kids never seemed embarrassed at all when Kharan was younger but now that he is older and a bit more reserved they don't approach as much.<br /><br />You need to come to Camp No Limits! Kharan had met my friend's husband right off the plane from Russia who is missing right below elbow and that was his first meeting with someone with at least one limb like his. But at Camp No Limits I was surprised at how many had multiple missing limbs and older counselors too which helps kids adjust. <br /><br />We walked in and up came Cameron Clapp to buffet line right off and started talking to Kharan . That was great to have confident multiple limb loss role models: Josh Kennison was there too and between him and Cameron (who Kharan called with his limited English at time 'my boy'). Aside from the kids I was just thrilled to have so many positive male role models in general there: the PT guys were great, etc...Sorry turned into ramble. <br /><br />Can't wait to finish reading!ywilburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076178904593335745noreply@blogger.com
