BTW and FYI: a resource list

Folks, I hope you understand that I was exaggerating earlier when I said there is no information about childhood amputations out there. The truth is that there are a few resources out there for parents with limb deficiencies and amputations. Here are some articles and links with some good information on the subject:

http://child-amputee.net/information/articles/for-families-of-children-with-amputations/
~ a good article on parenting children with limb differences

http://www.amputee-coalition.org/fact_sheets/help_child_understand.html
~ a list of children's books geared towards helping children cope with limb loss

http://limbdifferences.org/
~an online support group and resource center for parents of children with limb differences

http://child-amputee.net/
~ The international child amputee network

If any one actually reads my blog and has the need, please feel free to comment if you have more resources. I will add more in as I find them.
