Back in the saddle again
Hi all! After a whirlwind summer comprising graduation, getting married, honeymooning, taking my certification exam and then going through the several-months-long process of getting accredited with all my licenses and registrations, I am finally employed as a nurse practitioner and have access to a medical database again! I've pulled some interesting articles and I'm working to get full copies that I can load into the research forum. I'm so happy about the FDA approval for Soliris and looking forward to hearing/seeing the presentations from the family conference in Iowa at the beginning of this month. Please let me know if you have any specific questions that I can research and I will do my best!
Glad to be back in real life with you all again!
Joy

The Foundation for Children with Atypical HUS encourages patients and investigators to share information and explore options/resources as we work together to gain insight into this rare complement disorder. By increasing contact opportunities with researchers and medical personnel interested in helping the aHUS community, our stories foster a better understanding of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome.
Sharing information, inspiration and support for one another, we seek to gather together people and knowledge as we strive to improve the lives of patients and families dealing with a diagnosis of aHUS.
