I wanted to post here because I am not sure when you will be visiting my blog again, and I really want to talk to you.

You cannot imagine how much your post on my blog meant to me!!!

I cried like a baby as I read what you said to my son!! He is such a wonderful, special young man.

I thought you would be interested in hearing about a new device that he is using. It is called the school DAF. I have attached a picture to show you what it looks like. I hope the pic shows up because I am not too computer savvy.

The school DAF is a device that Cameron wears all day. You know how it sounds when you are on your cell phone and you can hear yourself talk a couple of seconds after you say it?? That is what this device does. I am not sure of all of the details, but when he wears this ALL of his stuttering goes away. It was the COOLEST thing the first time he put it on and told me about his day without stuttering once!! Of course I ended up having to walk out of the room when we were finished and cried such tears of joy!!

There is a device that does the same thing that is a hearing aid. It is so small no one would ever know he was wearing it. We are fighting with the insurance company about it right now because it costs around $4500.00 and they do not want to pay for any of it. But that okay, I will keep fighting them till they help us pay for it!!

Again, thank you so much for you kind words. I was very upset about a post on this site and then I read your message. You reminded me what a good life I have, and that the only thing that matters is my family!!

I really hope we can talk more!!

Seana:

You have a very handsome son! He is fortunate to have such a great Mom! That device looks right at home with him! He reminds me of the guys that stand along the sidelines of Football games. You always wonder who they are talking to. I'll bet all his friends want one.

I am glad I could contribute to your day. We all need kind words once and a while to remind us of our value as our heads continue to spin with all the activities of life.

Please feel free to contact me if you think I can be of further help.

THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE PETER.

THE KIDS AT SCHOOL ALWAYS THINK HE IS WEARING A WALKMAN. WALKMANS, CAMERAS, CELL PHONES, ETC ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE SCHOOL SO HE ALWAYS HAS TO EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS. HE HAS EVEN HAD A COUPLE OF TEACHERS STOP HIM AND TRY TO TAKE IT AWAY.

I FINALLY HAD TO TELL THE SPEECH THERAPIST TO E-MAIL ALL EMPLOYEES IN THE SCHOOL SO THEY WOULD NOT STOP HIM IN THE HALLWAYS.

AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS AND HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT EVENING.

SEANA
