Hello to our IHD family,

Please welcome Paris as our newest Moderator. Paris has always welcomed new members with a warm reception and always has nothing but good to say to everyone and every post she writes. Paris was very instrumental in the organization of our 1st IHD meeting in Chicago, she even took the time to embroider I hate dialysis.com into the caps. In her own words she wrote to me stating that she would do anything for IHD and the members, and expressing how much she really truly loves all of you. Karol and I gave it much thought before we discussed this together and we both had the same person in mind.

Paris I look forward to working with you in the future.  Welcome to the IHD Administration team.  :grouphug;
