<p>What a happy thought! I’d come and bring food too!</p>
<p>I’ve been a lurker here for months, but I’m in CT – so I’m in!!</p>
<p>I’ll be there, and can bring food, too!</p>
<p>HaveHope, I’m so glad your news is good. Thanks for sharing it.</p>
<p>Count me in! I’m in MD, but I do this drive all the time and can stay with BIL and SIL overnight so I don’t have to do the round trip in day. It would be an honor to meet you IRL! Will bring some of my famous hamentaschen, even though it may be a bit early for Purim!</p>
<p>I would love to ! As long as I am somewhere in North America and am not visiting my parents I will come. Just let me know the date and I will make the arrangements.</p>
<p>Sunrise,
I am in MA but I am down in NYC all the time. It would be my great privilege to come to your open house and to meet you and Mr Sunrise!</p>
<p>Sunrise - I can’t help smiling when I saw your post about the open house. It is so generous of you to share your journey with CC friends, and now a real life get together! I can feel the excitement among the many posters. It would be a great honor to meet you if I could make it. I wish I were closer too. Best to you and your family.</p>
<p>Hi Sunrise-- I would love to meet you! I could come from MA, and since I am a horrible cook, I can bring fresh fruit platters from whole foods! What a grand day it will be!!!</p>
<p>Okay, this is really a stretch, but would it be possible to make contributions to Dr. S’s research. I am so impressed with him, and I am sure that many of us might like to honor you in this way and to honor his humanitarianism and research.</p>
<p>Sunrise, I would love to come. I could find a way to combine it with a visit to my son and DIL in Boston, as long as I would be coming to the east coast.</p>
<p>I am in Texas so doubtful I would be there. Nuts. However, please let us know in case some miracle happens and I could be there. </p>
<p>Have you ever heard of a PleurX catheter? At some point if it is believed that the effusions will be an ongoing battle, you may want to ask about this. It worked very nicely in a family situation. Please write me if you have any questions.</p>
<p>What a delightful post about your son. What a patient and loving mother you are! I am in awe. And just so tickled that your son has come to feel and show such compassion for you in time for you to experience and appreciate it. What a gift for both of you. Thank you for sharing that. I am inspired again to learn to be more patient with my loved ones, and with people in general, and trust that they will come around.</p>
<p>I"m in California, so probability of attending is low, but, but, but, maybe someone could make a Facebook group and cc’ers from far away could see photos? Sunrise, your post about your son made tears well up in my eyes. What a wonderful mother you are, to be able to wait for him, and meet him so lovingly when he shows up.</p>
<p>Sunrise, your latest post was wonderful. So glad you are feeling better. Count me in for the open house!</p>
<p>thank you SO MUCH for your support for everything.</p>
<p>It looks like if I have an open house, there will be enough of you interested. OK. done. I will choose sometime during the second half of Jan or early Feb.</p>
<p>However, as you are aware, no guarantee given what I am dealing with. As the new years rolls in, I will assess the situation, and I will let you know.</p>
<p>Just thinking about it makes me happy :)</p>
<p>I am so happy to have caught up on this thread.</p>
<p>Sunrise, I would be honored and thrilled to come see you. I am soo happy that you are having some good days.
Havehope, I am happy for your good news.
with these new green button thingies, I just gave you a reputation (CC’s way of liking your post).</p>
<p>Sunrise, while I am a distance away, if the stars were to align, I would be happy to be there. Best to you and your family.</p>
<p>I would like to be there, too. I’m guessing we don’t live that far from each other.</p>
<p>I agree with peacefulmom. Is there anyway we can donate to Dr S’s research? I am sure many that can’t make the open house would like to donate.</p>
<p>If I’m available, I will come, however January & February weekends are nuts w regional swim meets for S1.</p>
