Hello Everyone! Jack and I have been very busy working diligently on his speech using the tips and tools the therapists have put in place.
You will see the new confidence in his face, and his eyes. He has a new sparkle and it's all because of your generosity!
To clarify --- Jack didn't have more than 10 words (even echolalia, which is repeating) before Christmas last year-- only five short months ago! He was not potty trained and did not have any desire to be a part of a conversation, let alone show interest in playing, talking or being a part of our family. He has made a drastic, dramatic improvement in all these areas.
With the guidance of the therapist, we learned how to help Jack have the confidence and drive to potty train. He's not 100 percent there but definitely 70 percent of the way! I'm SO proud of him.
The hard part is the funding has run out now, and I want to continue this therapy and nurture his mind while we have such a good start.
If there is anything you can do, Jack and I really appreciate it. From the bottom of my heart, you all are making a huge difference in this little boy's life. I can't wait to tell him how this all happened - it seems like that day may be closer than I thought.
Jack and I love you all so much.
Sincerely,
Jill
