Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Hi Kristi Your 3 1/2 year old sounds alot like mine. had 3 words in Jan. when we started speech with Early Intervention. Although is shy by nature & rather quiet he now has about 25 - 30 words. He just started putting 2 words together in the last few weeks. We go to st 2x a week for 30 minutes at All Children's Hospital. He was getting it 3x right before his 3rd birthday. We too are playing the insurance game even though has been diagnosed severly apraxia by his slp. We are going to try to get in with a Develepmental Ped soon. From what everyone here says their diagnosis carries more weight. Our school system has nothing really for the apraxic child, just the ordinary speech for the other speech problems that modeling usually will take care of. No one on one that our children need! also drools a little bit & has had feeding problems as a baby. No one has said too much about that but from what I hear is all related to apraxia. Although alot of the kids don't have the problem. just doesn't know how to use his mouth?? It seems like he is not aware of those muscles yet. The slp does exercises to wake up those muscles & it seems to help. Good luck with everything & keep us up to date....

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Hi! Our 2.6 year old boy was recently diagnosed with apraxia although he has been having private therapy 1x per week since January. I have not noticed the dramatic jump that you have seen and I was wondering if there is consistency with this improvement. Our son seems to lose whatever gains he makes as soon as the therapist leaves. I work with him throughout the day but it is such a slow go. Thanks > > Hi Kristi > > Your 3 1/2 year old sounds alot like mine. had 3 words in Jan. when we started speech with Early Intervention.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 We saw a lot of improvement in the beginning of 's therapy but we seem to hit points where nothing really happens for a while. I think alot has to do with 's age, he was 3 in April & that was when he really began to improve. Don't get me wrong we do a lot of vowel sounds for words like his brothers' name is & he calls he awn. Sometimes he puts the n on the end & sometimes not. We also hear him say words once & not again like I see others here say. We have had rain here in FL for days, yesterday my daughter was singing rain, rain go away & said it minus the constanants as clear as day. But would he do it again for his dad later, no! There are days I am really excited thinking he is doing so good & then the other day I listened to some kids on the talking page & got overly depressed. Some of those kids were talking in sentences. We just keep plugging along with each little milestone of our own! Tammy I. >Hi!

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Hi , When my son was that age, we also had a ST come to our house once a week for an hour. These sessions did next to nothing for him, and I, too, worked with him thru out the week. My son is now 5 and finally progressing at a good speed. We now have a therapist come to our house every day for 3 hours. And yes, sometimes they will make a big leap, only to slow down again. It's frustrating! When he turns 3 will you be sending him to a special preschool? We did that with for a year, but I was very disappointed. is the kind of kid that is easy to ignore. He's quiet and likes to wander around. That was fine with his teachers. He did not learn much, but the socialization was good for him. I'm very happy with the therapy we have for him now, but he did need a dx of PDD and mental retardation to get it. I don't care what they call him, as long as it continues. Labels can be removed later and schools don't ever have to know anything. Good luck! ~~ > Hi!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Oh gosh, ! This is a really tough one. I'm so sorry that you have had to go thru all of this. But, I feel horrible for what your children have had to go thru. I have attended a seminar here in California that is run by a wonderful lady...it's called Parent's Turn (parentsturn.org). Basically, it's a seminar that teaches divorced parents to change their views about the divorce issues and focus on the kids. Let's face it...both you and your ex LOVE your children. Just because you are divorced doesn't mean that you stop raising children together. It's very important to get understand that point. I wish someone would have told me that when I went thru a divorce w/ kids. All I was thinking was, " get this dude away from me! " . Well, you can't do that when kids are involved. ...get in touch w/ these people. If you are unable to go to a seminar...ask them to send the info for you to read. It will really help you. As far as the forgiveness...IT STARTS WITH YOU FORGIVING YOURSELF! You can not change the past, my dear friend. You can only live for the future & your children. If you do not accept YOUR part in what happened to create a divorce situation...there's no sense trying to forgive the other party. So...acknowledge one thing a week that you could have done better or maybe not been so _________ (fill in the blank)...acknowledge every instance you can think of where that particular feeling came up...now that you have acknowledged it, give it away (write it down & burn it, bury it, put the energy of that feeling back into the earth. Say a prayer of THANKS for the lesson that you have learned from it. Then make a promise to yourself not to go back to that feeling. It is done and gone and been replaced with a positive life lesson. The next week do the next issue. You will feel better...trust me. You are " doing something " to move forward from those feelings. Also, tell yourself that it doesn't matter what place you are in life...this is where you are meant to be. YOU are going to move forward & make yourself be the best mom/person you can be. You are worth happiness. You are worth all the blessings that come to you. OK...that was a small book...LOL I will add you to my personal prayer/healing list. Also, you may add me to your IM if you wish. I hope this helps you. Please keep in touch to let me know how it is going and if you need any further " books " written for your help.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Thank you for your response. I have accepted responsibility for the breakdown of the marraige. I will look into the group you suggested. It's hard to be an active parent in my children's lives because their father is doing everything in his power to prevent it. It is completely frusterating. I have appologized to him. He seemts to think it's necessary to tell the children about the case in court and that I've lied to them. He told them that I wasn't really going to counseling when I was and said I had lied to him about it, the reason he said that is because I wouldn't sent a letter from my counselor as proof of attendance. The court order states that I am to provide proof to the courts not him. He thinks and tells everyone including the school that I gave up my parental rights. If I had then it would not specify that I had monitored phone calls or supervised visits, it also wouldn't state that I was entitled to medical records and school report cards. I do realize my children have been through a lot and that I am partly to blame. I have wanted to tell my children I am sorry for a long time but he told me that I wasn't allowed to talk about the things that happened. So, if he tells me not to talk about it inculding an appology then how are they supposed to heal and move past it? He says he's protecting them and "wants to put these broken children back together" (his words) it seems if that were true he would want the applogy and to talk about what happend so they can move forward. Every week when I call there is some excuse or time limit. I found it quite interesting that Thurs he was at work and my daughter spoke to me and my son told me he was mad at me cuz his dad told him I lied about being in counseling and that I was trying to take them from him (so he put a lot of fear into them) and never bothered to tell them that I had left their step-father (who abused them and me). So, no wonder they wouldn't talk to me, they probably thought I was still with the one who hurt them. So, the children had a false sense of what was really happening. In addition to that I don't believe he was right in telling them I was trying to take them away, all he had to say is that the judge wanted to talk to mommy and daddy about grown up stuff. The children have been through way to much for their short lives, they have had their innocence stolen from them, been made to grow up faster than they should have. I am partly to blame and have taken my repsonsibilty for it. I have prayed and asked for forgiveness. I will continue to pray over the situation. Thanks for your suggestion I will definately look into it. Blessings! ~A~ Domestic Violence is a Crime! Be silent NO more!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 , you have been through some very difficult times, and I can understand your anger and frustration. And I know that some of your feelings stem from the fact that your children have suffered from this conflict with your ex-husband. The plain truth is that the people that are the hardest to forgive are the ones we need most to forgive. Not for them. For ourselves. The person who suffers most from your anger is you. I haven't lived through your experience, but I have had conflict with people several different times in my life where I felt extreme anger towards someone. As difficult or as strange as it may sound, I found that it helped me a great deal to pray for that person. I prayed for their health, well-being, happiness and that they be blessed, and their family also, much as you would pray for someone you love. At first it may feel very false to you, but keep doing it and it will become more natural. I found that as I did this, my anger toward that person gradually lessened. It was if something within me was melting. Doing this isn't going to make the problems go away, but it will help you to feel more centered, calmer, and maybe better able to deal with the situation. And I don't have to tell you how hard it is for your children to feel like they are in the middle between you and your ex. If you change, it can't help but change the dynamics to some extent. Maybe it will just be as slight or simple as your children sensing that you feel calmer when you talk to them, so they feel better when talking to you. I know this isn't going to solve everything for you, but I hope it helps at least a bit. Brightest blessings, Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Ki, that was some wonderful advice on moving past a divorce when children are involved. It might also be useful when there aren't any children in a divorce situation, but it's vital to keep parenting with their ex and to be civil (better yet, cordial) for the well-being of the children.I was the stepmother in a divorce situation, and I think we did a pretty good job of supporting each other as parents, getting along for my daughter's benefit, and so on. Even in a good situation like that, kids of divorce will have some issues about the divorce, new siblings, a new step-parent, etc. You just have to give them all the love you can, and do the best job you can as a parent. And listen to them. Really listen to them.Love and light,TammyOn Jul 7, 2007, at 6:20 PM, kiofthewind wrote:Oh gosh, !This is a really tough one.I'm so sorry that you have had to go thru all of this.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 OMG ! well, I would suggest that you do try to use the law of attraction to attract good events my friend, you can focus on the things that you do want really and this kind of seriousness will truly add to how hard you will try on applying these skills ... Attract positive events and the proper attitude you deserve I hope the following link will gives an idea .. or be a supporting tool http://www.abraham-hicks.com/teachings_brief.php my friend, please meditate any time you feel you are not aligned and not on the track of life you wanted ... once we meditate enough we will first relax .. and be guided with our blessing internal voice that can tell us amazing thoughts or suggestion ... trust that voice and act upon your feelings accordingly .. Attraction is a powerful way to manifest the changes we would love to have .. and its a wonderful way to shift our energies ... I'm sure if done properly it will not only make you attract the events and situations you would like to have, but truly assist in the matter of forgiving your ex too .. the shift of emotion is necessary for you I believe .. as we say in arabic culture : " People who have their hands in the water , are not like who have their hands in fire " by this saying .. we mean .. people whose hands in the water might talk from a relaxed manner because simply their hands are not feeling the heat of the fire like the other ones... this some how true ... your hands are caught in the fire here , and no matter what we tried to do to assist ... at the end our hands are still in the water .. not feeling what you are feeling .. we however, feel some how concerned about whats going on, on your end .. thus, from the deepest bottom of my heart I will through a life ring for you to hang onto, make sure its only a life ring for emergency you still have to do some on your end too .. this life ring, called positive energy ... I will send you a supporting and helping positive thoughts to your direction, but remember that you need to relax and be opened up to get it ... once you feel the cosmic energetic support flowing toward you, hold on to it .. and kick harder with your feet while still holding that life ring buoy .. keep afloat and do some paddling with your feet to change the spot you are on .. this change of place will allow other things you wanted to attract to be drawn and attracted to you .. take some time .. to reflect on this please ... and remember that you have friends who care for your well being .. and best of all .. so you are not alone, you need to keep this on your mind when you kick the water with your feet .. hoping that this will make you kick harder ... the shift of thinking from current situation to a quantic way of thinking is helpful and surely will cool down that heat which surrounds you hands now .. May you have cosmic support to show you the way , and help you through .. even if you only heard us talking about this .. our hearts with you and this I hope can be another support you shall feel to help you through out...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Thank you Tammy. It is comforting. And yes I do pray for him, his wife and her son; my children as well. I pray for their peace and happiness and safety. I hads calmed me down a bit. I do believe that's one reason my kids talk freely to me when their dad isn't around. I suppose I will keep on praying.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 It's been about 4 years since I've meditated. Do you know of any good guided meditations? I have been trying to find some but haven't had any luck. I am familiar with abraham-hicks work. Again, it's been about 4 years since I've read or listened. I also was in the middle of studying A Course in Miracles. I have tried to get back into it but I find that I lack motivation. I was teaching my children the meditation techniques as well. When we got home from work/daycare we would meditate (they loved it and they were only 5 & 6 1/2) My daugther was very grounded. My son was pretty grounded as well, he took a little more focus. One of my friends is an energy healer and I was blessed to have her in the delivery room while my daughter was born (which is why she is so grounded, I believe). At frist I had the hardest time connecting with her because ALL of my energy was devoted to my son and his difficulties in school and daycare because his dad stopped visiting. When their dad came back into their lives my son was ready but my daughter wasn't so he would spend every other weekend with his dad and step-mom. It was that time that my daughter got close and cherished every moment with her. My daughter was devistated when she was taken from me. Enough rambling.

OMG ! well, I would suggest that you do try to use the law of attraction to attract good events my friend, you can focus on the things that you do want really and this kind of seriousness will truly add to how hard you will try on applying these skills ... Attract positive events and the proper attitude you deserve I hope the following link will gives an idea .. or be a supporting tool http://www.abraham- hicks.com/ teachings_ brief.phpmy friend, please meditate any time you feel you are not aligned and not on the track of life you wanted ... once we meditate enough we will first relax .. and be guided with our blessing internal voice that can tell us amazing thoughts or suggestion ... trust that voice and act upon your feelings accordingly .. Attraction is a powerful way to manifest the changes we would love to have .. and its a wonderful way to shift our energies ... I'm sure if done properly it will not only make you attract the events and situations you would like to have, but truly assist in the matter of forgiving your ex too .. the shift of emotion is necessary for you I believe .. as we say in arabic culture : "People who have their hands in the water , are not like who have their hands in fire" by this saying .. we mean .. people whose hands in the water might talk from a relaxed manner because simply their hands are not feeling the heat of the fire like the other ones... this some how true ... your hands are caught in the fire here , and no matter what we tried to do to assist ... at the end our hands are still in the water .. not feeling what you are feeling .. we however, feel some how concerned about whats going on, on your end .. thus, from the deepest bottom of my heart I will through a life ring for you to hang onto, make sure its only a life ring for emergency you still have to do some on your end too .. this life ring, called positive energy ... I will send you a supporting and helping positive thoughts to your direction, but remember that you need to relax and be opened up to get it ... once you feel the cosmic energetic support flowing toward you, hold on to it .. and kick harder with your feet while still holding that life ring buoy .. keep afloat and do some paddling with your feet to change the spot you are on .. this change of place will allow other things you wanted to attract to be drawn and attracted to you .. take some time .. to reflect on this please ... and remember that you have friends who care for your well being .. and best of all .. so you are not alone, you need to keep this on your mind when you kick the water with your feet .. hoping that this will make you kick harder .. the shift of thinking from current situation to a quantic way of thinking is helpful and surely will cool down that heat which surrounds you hands now .. May you have cosmic support to show you the way , and help you through .. even if you only heard us talking about this .. our hearts with you and this I hope can be another support you shall feel to help you through out...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hi omg what a terrible time you and your kids are going through this must be a very tough thing to carry everyday,you are in my prayers daily love,light & strength being sent your way namaste kate > > Thank you for your response. I have accepted responsibility for the breakdown of the marraige. I will look into the group you suggested. It's hard to be an active parent in my children's lives because their father is doing everything in his power to prevent it. It is completely frusterating. I have appologized to him. He seemts to think it's necessary to tell the children about the case in court and that I've lied to them. He told them that I wasn't really going to counseling when I was and said I had lied to him about it, the reason he said that is because I wouldn't sent a letter from my counselor as proof of attendance. The court order states that I am to provide proof to the courts not him. He thinks and tells everyone including the school that I gave up my parental rights. If I had then it would not specify that I had monitored phone calls or supervised visits, it also wouldn't state that I was entitled to medical records and school report cards. I do > realize my children have been through a lot and that I am partly to blame. I have wanted to tell my children I am sorry for a long time but he told me that I wasn't allowed to talk about the things that happened. So, if he tells me not to talk about it inculding an appology then how are they supposed to heal and move past it? He says he's protecting them and " wants to put these broken children back together " (his words) it seems if that were true he would want the applogy and to talk about what happend so they can move forward. Every week when I call there is some excuse or time limit. I found it quite interesting that Thurs he was at work and my daughter spoke to me and my son told me he was mad at me cuz his dad told him I lied about being in counseling and that I was trying to take them from him (so he put a lot of fear into them) and never bothered to tell them that I had left their step-father (who abused them and me). So, no wonder they wouldn't talk to me, > they probably thought I was still with the one who hurt them. So, the children had a false sense of what was really happening. In addition to that I don't believe he was right in telling them I was trying to take them away, all he had to say is that the judge wanted to talk to mommy and daddy about grown up stuff. The children have been through way to much for their short lives, they have had their innocence stolen from them, been made to grow up faster than they should have. I am partly to blame and have taken my repsonsibilty for it. I have prayed and asked for forgiveness. I will continue to pray over the situation. Thanks for your suggestion I will definately look into it. > Blessings! > ~A~ > > Domestic Violence is a Crime! Be silent NO more!

Did they test some of your bone marrow or was it from a vein? The term BCR/ABL seems to typically used to describe the results of either a FISH test or a PCR test on the peripheral blood. The Philadelphia chromosome is the term used to describe the translocation as seen in bone marrow cells using a Cytogenetic analysis. The FISH and Cytogenetic tests are pretty equivalent in terms of measuring level of disease. Cytogenetics are the preferred method of analysis but its requirement for a marrow aspirate (i.e needle in hip) leads to the FISH test still being widely used. It would seem you have reached the second level or remission so everything is going good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
