Hi Everyone

Thanks for all the replys way back when?! I haven't had much time to

get on the computer. The kids have started back at school and are

doing ok. coped really well and likes his teacher. She seems

nice straight out of training and very young but in control of the

class. He had a toilet accident on the second day but I put it down

to first week back nerves. Now all the children on here who are

talking with the proefa is the language clear to everyone or only to

close people. is on Efa Recovery Plus and he jabbers away all

the time we even have to tell him to be quiet! In the holidays I

was buying him a new school bag and yellow is his favourite colour so

I picked out a yellow one and he turns and says " mum no weyow now me

boo now " (me no yellow noe me blue now " and picked out a blue bag. I

was jumping up and down in the middle of the shop the longest

sentence ever!! Then in bed he had his drinking bottle (not a baby's

bottle) and called me " mum, deedees dottle dadil dottle peas " (Mum,

e's bottle bottle please) is that good or is that not

what you guys are getting? I still want to try proefa even though

the results on this are astounding. I can always go back right?

Calling all AUSTRALIANS!! Do you have Proefa in Australia, my Sister

in law lives in Sydney and would be able to send it over for me I am

in the process of trying to have a pharmacist here import it into New

Zealand but it's a fair way off yet. So if you could let me know how

much and where I can go from there thanks. Now the speech therapist

problem I rung SES and is carrying on with the old one for two

weeks and then having a new therapist coming over from the UK if this

doesn't work then the head speech therpaist is taking over his case.

The embarassing thing was I rung and introduced myself and she

said " o you are 's mum " I never even met the lady in my life!

The new principal at their school said never be embarassed about

trying to help your son, people at the school may think you are pushy

and bulshy but we know you are only doing the best for , so all

you people in the process of fighting keep going you will win in the

end when one door shuts find another one knock and keep going you

will succeed.

A non apraxic question. We moved both our children to the new school

e in not apraxic and in her last year at primary she has another

child from her old school who's parents have " followed " us to the new

school. I asked that they be separated and they are in different

classes and e has made lots of new friends, now her old " friend "

is a lot bigger than her and in intimidating and a very anti social

child the opposite to e her new friends have told her if she

plays with this other girl they won't play with her, e really

wants the new friends and we noticed a huge change in her attitude

when she was not with the old friend. So what do I do to keep her

away from her or do I let it be? e is the most sociable child

but also very sensitive and if the old friend looks sad and depressed

she would throw away all the new friends for this. Now the old

friend went out with my dh and he caught her stealing in a shop much

to es horror she would be scared the police would lock her up if

she stole! So she really tried to get away from her at the old

school and this child then intimidated her through her friends so

e went back to her again. It sounds really catty from me but I

just want the best for her I know what a sociable little girl she is

and with the old friend she becomes anti social, depressed and really

grumpy to and us after school, I tried making her see what she

should do by answering questions but it's her life right? HELP!

Sorry about all that had to get it off my chest.

Take care all
