Wow! 9 Kids! And I think my one is a handful! What a fun and loving

household you must have! It's great that you are getting such an early

start. We didn't get Abbey's diagnosis till she was 2 and the

improvement since she started her medicine has been incredible!

I'll be thinking of you and your family.

> I have 9 children. Luke is 15 and is healthy other than some

odd sensory issues being looked into in February. Leah is 13 and has

quite a few Mito soft signs but has done some testing and doesn't need

any medication thus far according to Dr. Whiteman. Just keep an eye

on her he says is 12 and other than heat intolerance is

great. Isaac is 9 and is healthy other than allergies, asthma, and an

ADHD tendancy although we haven't tested him for it and don't plan to.

Tirzah is 7 and is healthy now but had a close call at 11 months when

she had bone marrow failure to unknown reasons. Asenath will be 4 in

March and cognitively is about 2 due to stroke damage. She talks but

has had stroke damage to her speech area and so has many letters that

she has to relearn. She was ahead of most kids her age before the

strokes hit. She walked at 10 months and talked in long sentences by

1 1/2. the strokes have caused issues with her legs (DAFO's) and her

arms although her left mostly, her trunk, her speech and different

mouth issues, cognitive issues, etc. But she is amazing and has

recovered a lot and keeps going. We are very proud of her. She takes

about 10 different meds including the coctail, is g-tube fed, has

sleep issues and uses oxygen when needed, has asthma, not potty

trained, etc... Kezia (our adopted little girl) is 3 in two days and

healthy now. She had severe reflux issues when she was first placed

with us. Marquis (our adopted little guy) is 2 and healthy other than

some issues form in-utero drug exposure including the ADHD stuff.

And, lastly, Zipporrah is 2 1/2 months old and you have probably heard

all about her symptoms I am worried about. A long list for you to

read. Hopefully it will help you know my family a little more. Let

me know if you have any further questions. Thanks for asking.
