"blessed yet again"

Last night at 5:00 pm I was yet again blessed. You all remember how I have said that Dar was having difficulty "voicing". Wether this has been a physical issue or something else we may never know.

Last night with Ms. Tami at the helm and controling the cell phone, Dar was amazing. Happy to hear my voice and comfortable in bed, we spent probably 15 minutes or better "voicing" and "speaking" words and phrases we have not heard in a very long time.

Dar answered questions appropriatley, filled in the blank to questions like, "the elevator goes up and _______", the opposite of stop is _____", "some people go to ______ on Sunday", "at bedtime we wash our face and hands and brush our ______".

Dar was "spot on" with all my questions, made her vowel sounds, said "I love you" and was just amazing. Tami and I were so excited to hear Dar speak again after such a long lay off.

I told Dar I would call again about 7:00 to say good night and if she was up to it, work on our voicing some more. We spoke briefly at 7:00 and Dar although tired again "voiced" as much as she could. She is trying so hard to win her battles and reach for her stars and I am so very proud of her.

I will be making a call to her therapist, Ms Amy very early this morning to bring her up to speed about last night and you never know, we might have to have "speech class" by way of long distant cell phone. Praise God Tami was there to witness the glorious happenings. Thank you Tami, we are so blessed to have you in our lives.

Talk later,have a great day everyone, we love you.
