Using the Yahoo group called Blepharophimosis you will be able to see messages from people to others in the group. These will provide you with information, as well as an insight to the sort of issues that face children and parents later in life.
What is the Yahoo group? It is self-administrated community comprising: · people with BPES · parents of children with BPES · healthcare professionals
What type of information can I get? Members of the group can do the following - post & view messages on a bulletin board - post and view photos - have access to a database of people who want to get in touch with each other - have access to previous messages - arrange for you or your child to correspond with a pen-pal.
Here are some typical topics which have come up recently:
· My child is about to have their first surgery. How much explanation do you think I should give them? What have other parents done?
· How is it best to explain to other young children why my child looks different?
· Which hospitals and specialists have other parents spoken to in my area?
· What should I expect when my child goes for surgery? How did your child react to the experience?
· As a young woman who is facing fertility problems, what is the best way to get information and treatment?
Sometimes people discuss these topics in a forum, where the information is exchanged so that everyone in the group can see it. At other times, people correspond privately, for example they want to arrange to meet up, or perhaps talk about very personal issues.
What is expected of me? Becoming a member of the group allows you to see and view information. If you so wish, you can take a passive role and simply read information. You are not required to provide any information about yourself, except for a user name and email address.
However, if you would like to, you can post photos, enter information about yourself and your family on a database, and participate in discussion forums.
