Connor Menneto Reaches a Milestone Despite Pain

  
Connor Menneto age 18 Plays Varsity Baseball!

                                                                                                                          

Connor Suffers with "CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome), first discovered in the Civil War, is still barely understood. But it's known to come about after multiple injuries to an extremity -- such as the breaks in Connor's leg.

Like the phantom sensations experienced by an amputee, the disease causes the brain to send out pain signals for trauma that doesn't exist. And the pain is far worse than any trauma might be." Times Union Staff Writer ALAN WECHSLER

Mom's update March 2011-

Hi Everyone

I wanted to drop a line to let you know all the good news.  Connor made the varsity baseball team here. He has gotten a chance to pitch and the fields here are amazing. He is having a great time. I can't help but sit in a amazement when I see him in uniform. You all made it possible and I hope seeing a picture of the amazing progress makes you all smile.  He has been accepted to a few schools and we are in the process of choosing.

 

His is an amazing story that you all had a part of creating. He continues to lead a life with pain but pain is part not his whole life.  The life is much bigger then the pain. 

 

My best to all of you

Rosemary
