It alows my son to be as normal as possible and have the freedom of a child.

I just wanted to stop by and say "hi" . I'm also in the Northeast and Parents groups, and I'm in southern NH,so we are practically neighbors.
How long has your son been pumping? I'm guessing not too long since he's got the newer cozmo . My son's one-year pump anniversary with the Cozmo is coming up next week. Please feel free to drop by my page and say "hi".

We're almost neighbors. I work in Chelmsford and I live a little further south on 495. Let me know if you ever need to talk with a 'local'! And have a look at the Groups section, you might want to join the US Northeast group on the last page of groups.

Are you folks going to Joslin? I'm seeing an excellent endo in St. Joe's in Nashua. Let me know if you want a name.
