I just read your article in this month's MomSense. The funny thing is I haven't been in MOPS for over a year. I also have a child that has verbal apraxia of speech. He was diagnosed at age 2 with severe apraxia, unable to speak. He would gesture, grunt and point. He qualified for speech but it was a few months in before his therapist realized it was apraxia. He attended ese/pre k and his teacher was an absolute blessing! Without her, he would not be where he is today. He is almost seven years old and still in speech therapy. He has mastered almost all of his sounds except for "r" which he is working on now. I can totally relate to Holland. I can honestly say now, after years of counseling and medication for me!, that Holland is a wonderful place. Different than where the others are going but it is a place that God has made just for us. God Bless you and your family! Oh my goodness. I just read your article in this month’s MomSense. The funny thing is I haven’t been in MOPS for over a year.

I have a 2 1/2 year old who was born with a cleft lip and palate so we knew from the beginning that he would have speech issues. He has been receiving speech therapy since he was around a year old. I started thinking that there was something other than his cleft palate that was causing him to be so delayed in his speech and now we are looking at apraxia as one of his puzzle pieces. I found your "video of hope" so touching -- I was bawling my eyes out! I can't wait to read more and watch more of the speech therapy videos. I am going to forward this onto my little boy's speech therapist too. Thanks again ~ Krissy Hi Jen - I just recently came across your blog while searching for information on apraxia.

The shoes are a perfect reminder of the journey we are all on. I read that poem almost two years ago and keep it tucked away in the back of my head and my heart. It resurfaces whenever I am having one of those days. I am glad you went back to the store and bought those shoes. They were meant for you! Love it!

I read this poem six months ago and all I could do was cry...cry for my son...cry for his spirit...cry for this road we're on that seems so unclear at times. After reading it again tonight, I felt the same emotions but I also was able to look deeper and realize that God has put me in "Holland" for a purpose. I have no other choice but to trust in Him! When I saw your reply on my blog, I realized that I haven't discussed Landon's progress with Apraxia on my blog - it's extremely hard to face at times. Although he's up to 10 words (hooray for that!) the progress is slow. I attribute a lot of this to our move and the fact that he's gone three months without therapy due to insurance issues. I continue to be hopeful though. I look at your story and read the progress that Luke continues to make and it lifts our spirits. I want you to know that your blog is inspirational, touching, and uplifting. Thank you!
