Living with CP: the early years part 9.

Speech Therapy.

Hello everyone. I hope you all are having a wonderful day today. I have a question for everyone. How do you think my Mother reacted when my Grandma called her at work that day and told her I said my first word? She thought my Grandma was hearing stuff, because when she held the phone to my ear I would not say anything. It was the same way with my family I did not talk around them, but when it was just me and Grandma I said that egg word with no problem. When Grandma called Children's and told them I was talking, they did not believe it either. So they setup another appointment one day, and It was me and Grandma in this room with one other person. Four hours later, not a word. Then they decided to try something. They put me and Grandma in the room alone with a tape recorder and an egg. After about 45 minutes I was saying that word like crazy! After that they decided to work on my speech hard at Children's Medical Center to get me talking. That tells you that if you have the right people behind you and you work hard enough, anything is possible! See where I go next.
