Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Thanks Kathy and everyone else who has responded and been so understanding and encouraging. It is more than awful when someone tries to convince you that your child has limited potential and/or a bleak future when you've looked into those beautiful, inquisitive, alert, engaging, bright eyes everyday since the day they were born and you know differently! Nothing is a more powerful motivator than a parent's love for their child. I know many parents on this group, like me, have spent countless hours doing research on the internet, reading books, articles, talking to people, observing various therapy techniques, trying out all kinds of doctors, etc... all in an effort to help our children. I needed the support I received from everyone yesterday. It was therapeutic to air out my frustration and fears and it was helpful to have put me in touch with a Mom who recommended a doctor familiar with apraxia. Thanks to everyone who reached out to me, I'm back in the saddle and ready to continue my fierce advocacy for my beautiful little blue-eyed dream come true. [ ] Kim Kim.....did you actually see any medical certificates or documents in his office....of course, I am being sarcastic, but you know your child best......as I am sure many,many, many of us already wrote.....my neurologist told me that my twins were apraxic and the worst case scenerio was that they would never speak but he really could not see into the future so when I left I think I hid my crying the whole way home...then after a few SLP evals and hearing evals and all said the same I began my hours and hours on the computer...and thank God found this group.....as it is much easier to have people know what you are going through and feeling always here to answer your questions or just to hear you vent....It does get better....and some days are better than others.....and you have there with you????? You got it made!!!!!!!!!! Stay positive...(she-- won't let you be any other way anyway) Kathy in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Dear Kim, My sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. I still wish I had mine to talk to, and it's been 22 years! And to be suffering so much pain besides the pain of losing your mom is just not fair. I'll keep you in my prayers, Judi in IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hi Kim I just want to send my condolances to you on the loss of your mun. I know how it feels. I just lost my mum at the end of January this year. I miss her so much Lots of love Joyce xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ANJILLAH@... wrote: Dear KiM; I am so sorry about the death of your mother. I know how tough that can be from my own experience. I am sorry you are having so many troubles. However, I just wanted to ask if you have Medicare. If you do, you could get a scooter free. If you don't have it but have other insurance that might pay for it also. Another thing, if you have neither you might still want to apply to the Scooter STore and you could possibly get one free or have to pay it on time, it depends, I am not sure. The Scooter Store is all over the US. Just call information and ask for them. The original main company is in Texas. Good luck. Sincerely, Colletti Anjillah@...

A move over seas. Are you currently here in the US? I hope that if you can find some packing fairies - you will send em my way!!!! I have been to England several years ago. Okay more than several. It was a good visit!!!! I hope that you will really enjoy it. Do you have a doc in mind there? Do you know anything about their medical care? Just curious. Take care.

I did manage to get in some excersise today so I'm happy about that, it's been a month since I last worked out, what with vacation, a trip to London to find a place to live and then a UTI. Now if I could just get the packing fairies to come help me pack all would be good. > Hello. How are you? Welcome! It is so nice to have your here. I > look forward to talking with you!
