Another Tanner update

[Guest guest]

I was just speaking to Rosemarie from our group and it reminded me I have to

share this here. I don't know about the rest of you with older children with

apraxia -but I find it IMPOSSIBLE to delete my son Tanner's voice mail messages

from my cell phone...which would become a bit of a problem as they add up

You can hear one of them in the past here as a matter of fact from 3 years ago

Anyway was going through my voicemail today and heard a message from Tanner-

clear as a bell and knew what he was talking about because he was working on a

project with a friend from school yesterday and the issue was already

resolved....and I clicked " delete " ...and a moment after I gasped I JUST DELETED

TANNER'S MESSAGE...and his speech is so clear and perfect! Tanner's messages to

me now were no different than one left by my husband or one of my friends -or

anyone...I never have trouble deleting anyone else's message!

And one other thing. Tanner's school due to the economic times is being closed

and is going to merge with a school 50 minutes from our home. So I do plan

sadly on switching Tanner to another school in our area. Tanner's already been

for the testing- Stanford tested higher in reading than math for the first time

in his life ever!!! He's never scored so high on reading...but that wasn't the

point of what I was going to share. We need paperwork from Tanner's current

school in order to complete the transfer and nobody is happy about this in

regards to his current school or me. Tanner is fine with it because he has

friends in this other school too.

So this morning I said to Tanner " Tanner we are at a standstill until we get the

paperwork back from Miss Patty. Why don't you just ask her if she had a chance

to look at it? " And you know what my 13 year old said to me " What so you want

me to be the bad guy?! " I mean he totally got it that I was uncomfortable

asking so was asking him to do it!!!! And as I stood there mouth hanging open

he said " You are better at dealing with stuff like that than me anyway "

Like I said -sometimes with nutriiveda you just can't put your finger on it as

there are so many changes both profound and subtle. And for Tanner again this

is a child that I did not believe needed that far to go- it's beyond my wildest

hopes where nutriiveda has brought him.

And just a quick update on my Aunt Leona I shared about the other day. Saturday

was her 89th birthday and she was wanting to walk more and more. On Sunday her

aid took her for a walk outside in the courtyard (she lives in NYC) with the

walker, and my Aunt fell down again -walker and all. It was a nightmare. She

appears to be OK but the last thing she needs is another fall. But she's still

drinking nutriiveda every day and while my entire family (especially my

conservative and highly skeptical attorney brother) are shocked at how much she

improved as she was on her death bed..literally as hospice is involved and she

said goodbye to everyone already but just didn't die..I just KNOW that

nutriiveda is somehow building up strength in her, keeping her regular for the

first time, and providing all those nutrients to her body- time will tell. It's

just getting over this now latest fall but I told her yesterday " Aunt Leona I

know you are hurt and that you fell...but I AM SO PROUD OF YOU THAT YOU WERE OUT

THERE WALKING!!! "

What words can one use to describe something like this??? Bliss is one that

comes to mind.
