SUMMARY:Courageous Parent Network: Let’s Make Caregiving a Bit Easier Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Finding resources and organizing information are two common struggles for many parents in our Network. But great news – CPN recently discovered two amazing tools that promise to make these tasks much easier! In this session\, we’re thrilled to have the founders of mejo and Librarey with us. They’ll demonstrate how their innovative tools can help parents quickly identify support organizations and streamline care documents for their children. Join us to learn how mejo and Librarey can transform your approach to managing your child’s care needs.\n\nLibrarey\, part of Comend\, is designed for the rare disease and disability community. Beyond being a search engine\, it’s a collaborative space where families\, caregivers\, and advocates impacted by rare diseases and disabilities can find and share resources\, connect with supportive communities\, and create curated collections customized to their unique needs.\n\nwww.librarey.com\n\nmejo (short for ‘me journey’) is a web app that provides parents and caregivers with a better way to simplify\, organize and share their child’s most important medical + care information. Easy to use\, mejo helps caregivers save time and gain peace of mind by organizing their child’s information into easily digestible views that can be securely shared – with teachers\, caregivers\, family members and clinicians – in a click.\n\nwww.mymejo.com\n\nThis event will take place on Thursday\, August 22 at 8:00 pm ET (7:00 pm CT\, 6:00 pm MT\, 5:00 pm PT).\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Aubrie's Army
DESCRIPTION:Our daughter Aubrie Schilling was diagnosed with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome last year at 15 months old through genetic testing at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus\, Ohio. CdLS is a rare genetic spectrum disorder that causes a broad range of potential physical\, cognitive\, and medical challenges. After this surprising diagnosis\, we contacted the CdLS Foundation\, which quickly became our main resource for guidance and educational information. Since then\, our lives have changed in many ways\, but through the uncertainty of a new diagnosis\, we found a community within the CdLS Foundation. We are thankful for the help this organization has provided to our family and their ongoing support as we continue to navigate this challenging journey. \nWe are also grateful to our family\, friends\, and sponsors for supporting this fundraising event for Aubrie’s Army. In our first year\, we raised over $15\,000. We hope that this gathering will continue to raise awareness about Cornelia de Lange Syndrome\, bring together families traversing through a similar journey\, and generate funds to empower the CdLS Foundation\, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization\, in its mission of providing indispensable services and resources! \nWe look forward to growing this event each year to continue to advocate for sweet Aubrie\, the CdLS Foundation\, and all those affected by Cornelia de Lange Syndrome. Thank you for your continued support! \nCan’t attend but still want to support? Click here to donate to Aubrie’s Army.

SUMMARY:WI Road Race
DESCRIPTION:Lace up your …. And get ready to walk\, run and have fun while supporting the CdLS Foundation. \nMeet Zachary Isaiah Guran! He is 3 years old and was born with a rare syndrome called Cornelia de Lange Syndrome. Zach is an incredibly resilient kid. He consistently deals with some sort of discomfort daily. He struggles with hearing\, and he is non-verbal which makes communication and caring for Zach very complicated. Some of his biggest challenges include feeding\, swallowing\, digestive discomfort\, gaining weight (failure to thrive)\, low muscle tone\, severe acid reflux\, small hands\, limbs\, and feet\, a weakened immune system\, and several developmental delays. My wife and I have learned how to manage Zach’s needs\, but we still don’t always get it right and are constantly learning new ways to help him as time goes on. It has been a difficult journey to say the least filled with unpredictable twists\, medical mysteries\, and scary moments. With that said\, being his parents has been equally as rewarding. \nTo read more about Zach’s journey and Registration Information  \nLocation:\nMenomonee Park\nW220 N7884\, Town Line Rd\nMenomonee Falls\, WI US 53051

SUMMARY:International CdLS Remembrance Day
DESCRIPTION:Losing a loved one with CdLS at any age can be life-altering. Parents\, siblings\, relatives\, and friends feel a tremendous loss and often have difficulty understanding why. It is so important that we as a community surround them with support and unconditional love. Although they have lost their child\, grandchild\, or sibling – they still belong and will forever be part of our journey. \nOn February 12\, we will be celebrating CdLS Remembrance Day. We ask that our fellow CdLS community members partake in this special day with us to show solidarity with families who no longer have loved ones with them. \nPlease take a moment to remember everyone with CdLS who has died over the years. \nDownload and add the Facebook profile picture for International CdLS Remembrance Day. \nFor more information\, contact Gabrielle Nadeau.

SUMMARY:Being My Child's Protector\, Advocate\, and Decision-Maker in the NICU Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Anticipating the birth of a child can be one of the happiest times for parents. But when babies have life-threatening medical issues and begin their lives in the NICU\, everything can change. For some parents\, this may mean navigating a new role: learning how to navigate the NICU and communicate with the medical team; figuring out what matters most to their baby and family; considering intense medical interventions\, interpreting medical jargon; seeking clarity in the absence of a clear prognosis; building a trusting relationship with the baby’s medical team. \nJoin Dr. Monica Lemmon and several experienced NICU parents\, for a discussion about strategies to build helpful parent-clinician alliance and parental confidence in decision-making for the newborn in the NICU. \nThis event will take place on Thursday\, February 27th at 8:00 pm EST (7:00 pm CT\, 6:00 pm MT\, 5:00 pm PT). \nRegister here
