AMY Re: Max's Awareness Video

[Guest guest]

Max's video has touched me, he sure is a sweet little boy. He is so

lucky to have such a strong and wonderful Mom. I am one to cry at

sad times as well as happy times and the tears just kept streaming.

Have you ever thought about sending this video to the Oprah show? I

am a strong believer in the power of Oprah. A show on the subject

would raise so much awareness in the country. She could be an

awesome advocate for all of our babies.

Hugs to you,

> Hi Amy:

> It really is great to hear from you, Max's story has always touched

me, so it was great to see your beautiful montage, yet I probably

should've grabbed my box of Kleenex ahead of time

> It looks like Max is doing well, although I'm very sorry to hear

of his delays. He is no doubt a strong little boy so I'm certain

he'll continue to show improvement over time. He is adorbale. How

great to go to the Yankee game for him, I remember reading that

Yankee's story in PEOPLE or Sports Illustrated I think a few yrs

back about his son having cranio. Max has an older sister too if I

remember right, right?

> Abby's doing great - almost done w/2nd grade and getting way too

big! She's rec'd speech therapy since she was 3.5 yrs old for

articulation delays, but seems to be where she " should be " today and

we're hopeful she'll be done w/speech after another yr or so.

them, there's never a dull moment around here that's for sure.

> I see so many banded babies in my area, there've been 2 babies in

Abby's class (her classmates little brothers) who've been banded the

past 2 yrs I only occasionally visit the group any more, so it was a

great surprise to see your post yesterday!! I'll copy & paste their

Christmas picture from this past yr. i think it'll show up here.
