I plan to watch these but I will post now to be able to share. :)

6/8/11   I just viewed the first part of the conference, it is interesting and informative.  It is totally opposite to how we like to treat Jewel.  Their approach is very invasive, we tend to be more conservative and holistic in our choices and approach.  We use food and therapy instead of surgically implanted medicines.  I am glad that we have so many choices.

part 2, is very informative and the power point moves rather fast and there is a lot to comprehend, again it talks about surgeries which in most cases would be last on the chain of help available.

Part 3, focuses on physical therapy and occupational therapy, they briefly touch on other modalities and touch on myofascial release.  I can comprehend and relate to this segment because we have been doing this with Jewel for so long and I understand the benefits.

Part 4; talks about life style and life span/prospective & management.  They acknowledge the team approach and the key being the family.  Interesting and meaningful.

I was impressed by this conference and the body of knowledge presented.  They are in a field where they daily care for our children and I could still see Lauren Miller Beeler's passion for this community.

Thank you for who ever posted these video clips on Youtube, they are very educational and  worth watching.
