Tabitha, Our Sweetheart I Love Your Brain We are forever telling Tabitha that she is our Sweetheart. She used to look at us and say "I love your brain". INTERESTING! (I wonder what she meant by that?) Tabitha is our now 18 year old daughter (January girl) who was born with Turners Syndrome and at 18 months old was diagnosed with Autism and developmentally delayed. She is fairly healthy. We have had more complications with the autism/developmentally delayed symptoms more than the Turner Syndrome. It takes alot of patience and really staying in tune with her to stay on top of her behaviors. We have had alot of learning about this over the years. We will continue to be ever learning and trying to be of service to others in years to come. We love her and would not change having her for the world. God has done alot of work in and through us since He gave her to us to raise for His glory and His honor. Tabitha was pretty much non-verbal for the first 4 years of her development. Music made a significant change in that. She still has what I call "toddlers language". She loves to listen to Praise Music and watch Disney Singalongs. These helped in her processing her language abilities. Today , she is a BIG fan of VEGGIE TALES Videos. Our Turners Story We gave birth to Tabitha in 1986. She was born weighing only 6lbs 6oz.and 18" long. What a difference from the 10lb baby, the doctors told me I was going to have! She had thrombocytopenia to begin with and her Apgar test was | |
