1. I WAS JUST TOLD MY CHILD HAS OI!  - NOW WHAT?

    1. First, please stop, take a breath and understand that no matter HOW BAD your imagination may have created a bleak scenerio for your               child, there is a new member of the OI community born in the United States EVERYDAY (statistical averages).

   2.  For the most part, these kids are happy, healthy and amazingly productive members of society, who just need to be a little more aware

         of their surroundings than their peers.

   3.  When printed Newspapers were the best way to get your news the publishers realized that the fastest way to get you to part with your                 Quarters, was to print horrifying headlines, graphic photos and the like ABOVE the fold on the front page.

    4.  In today's litigious society some healthcare systems do the same thing, painting a very bleak and terrible image for you, so that IF/WHEN

          it doesn't come to pass they look like the HERO.

         We have prepared a brief but thorough description of the "image" of an OILIFE if you will follow the link below you can see what we mean.
