Childhood Apraxia of Speech

Well, we have a probable diagnosis for Paul. It is likely that he has childhood apraxia of speech. They don't typically settle on this for sure until closer to age 3...but this is most likely what it will turn out to be. I'd give more information, but it's easier if I just give you a link to a website that does a much better job. Basically it's a severe speech problem that will,  more than likely, lead to problems with language for a significant amount of time. Each child is different and it's difficult to say what the long term implications are, but it will be a long road for our wonderful little boy. Here's a website for those of you interested in learning more...

There is more going on in our lives that I need to update, but it's almost time for dinner and this was all I had time for :)

Sammi- Lauren, do you miss your Daddy?

Lauren - Yeah Sammi, I do

Sammi - Even though he's not with you, he's still in your heart. Heavenly Father loves you and will take care of you.


I hope she never forgets.
