I wasn’t exactly sure where to post this since it’s not exactly a “reflux-related” topic. I hope that enough people actually read this section to see the post.
With a mixture of joy and sadness I must tell you all that I will not be with the MARCI-Kids team very much longer. My wife and I will be moving to Philadelphia in August where we will both be studying at Westminster Theological Seminary.
Although it was not an official part of my job with the University of Missouri, I have very much enjoyed monitoring and posting on this message board. It has been so encouraging to witness a community that looks after each other’s needs so well and is always there to support one another.
I hope that the information that I have passed along to you all over the past couple of years has been helpful to you and I hope that you will continue to educate one another and your doctors. The facts will eventually win out over rumor and proud ignorance.
I will be training up a replacement for my position over the next couple of months and I will try to give him/her as much information as possible to help any of you who needs it. But I cannot guarantee that they will have either the time or ability to answer the posts on this board. However, if you send an email to info@marci-kids.com it should get answered by someone knowledgeable. I will still be answering emails until the first part of August, 2006.
In addition, we are trying our best to make some major updates and additions to the MARCI-Kids website, which should provide much more thorough information and answers than what is there now. Hopefully this will reduce the need to email your questions to us. I will let you know as soon as these new pages are up and running.
In the meantime, please feel free to email myself (andrewsjj@health.missouri.edu) or the rest of the MARCI-Kids team (info@marci-kids.com) with any questions or needs that you have. We also love to hear updates and success stories from you.
Those of you who hang around here and answer questions for newbies (even though some of you are no longer dealing with reflux yourselves) provide a tremendous service to your fellow parents and my hat is off to you. Please continue to point people in the right direction and comfort the afflicted. It has been a pleasure getting to know so many of you and I wish all of you and your families the very best.
