Fw: Special child

[Guest guest]

I sent this to Ian and he said it was appropriate for the list, so here it goes.

If anyone wants more details feel free to ask. Kim

 

 

Ian, I wanted to thank you for your kind words and share with you about one of

my special children, the first one we adopted. His name is now Joshua. When he

came to me he was 6 months old and vegetative and never walk. He had no muscle

tone and very little brain activity. I have all the medical terms memorized but

won't bore you with those. The medical profession said if he lived he would

always be a vegetable. (He came with 2 machines to help him breathe) We

Immediately started to make his formula from organic soybeans 3 times a week

and bought a goat for the fresh milk. We did this because he would vomit every

time he ate. First we had to teach him to suck on a nipple (previous foster

parents cut the top off the nipple because he was so weak) Then I made his baby

food from scratch as well. In addition I supplemented him with immune building

herbs and brain building herb and supplements. Needless the say the medical

profession knew nothing of this. When his adoption was final we took him back

the MD's and they could not believe it was the same child! He is now 3 1/2 and

can load his own programs on the computer and loves to sing and is walking and

running all over!The agency that worked with his physical therapy had to

disqualify him because he was " normal " . I wanted to share this with you because

you love children and you are very knowledgeable. We currently have 5 children

(1 adopted) and are going forward to adopt other medically fragile children. I

believe I have been given a gift to help these kids and am eager to do so. If

you have any additional knowledge that would be of help in my helping a sick

child, I would love to network with you or be directed to other resources that

could help our family in this endeavor, they would be much appreciated. Thank

you for your time. I chose not to put on list as I wasn't sure if it would be

appropriate, thank you again, Kim
