Re: Kenneth's Thread *10/29/08 UPDATE*
bump - 11/20
WE HAVE WORDS AND CONSISTENT SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't even believe I am writing this - I didn't know if this day would EVER come!!! I am crying, writing, shaking, etc. ALL at the same time. Meanwhile, I just updated his thread this morning with "we still don't have real/consistent sounds or words". THEN, I just called my mom to see how Kenneth is doing and my dad answered her cell. I figured she is helping Kenneth or something - so, my dad says "Kenneth is - well, he is talking". I said WHAT?!?!
Then, he said, listen... and I heard: "oooh. oooh. woow, wow, oooooohh" and my mom is going "louder Kenneth, do more" and I hear "wow, WOW, ooohhhhhh oommm, ummmm WOW"  almost as if he can't believe he is doing it!
So, my dad said that my mom gave him a tissue to blow his nose - he has been so stuffy lately. And we have been working with him on blowing the tissue w/ his mouth which promotes AIR coming out of the mouth which helps move speech along. So, he thought he was supposed to blow air toward the tissue like we have been doing and my mom said "oh no Kenneth - this is for you to blow your nose, you are so stuffy from allergies".
So, she put it near him and SOUND came out so she moved it away shocked. Then, he looked SHOCKED like did I just do that?! All of a sudden, something connected in his head and he started making sounds... even when the tissue was not there. Kenneth had this astonished look on his face like I just figured it out - I figured out how to do it!! That is when I called and my mom was just trying to get him to do it over and over.
With that his speech therapist walked in to start his session at 3pm!! Talk about perfect timing and she walked in to him doing these noises - omg his voice sounds exactly the same!! I'm on the phone with my dad crying and my mom has him do it for Madeline (his speech person) and then I told dad I would call back because I needed to collect myself. Madeline was THRILLED.
With that, I call Vinny and since he was up so early and busy all day this was the first time we got a chance to speak to each other today -- before I can get out what happened he says to me "Oh I've been meaning to call you and your mom! I had a dream LAST NIGHT that Kenneth spoke!! I know it is coming soon" With that I just started crying and he was like "what's the matter??" and I told him what happened and then HE started crying!!! 
So, I explained to him and called my dad back to tell him about Vin's dream and he picks up and I hear Kenneth -- in the background -- saying HI!!!!!!!!!!! "Hi, Hiiiiiii, HIIIIII" over and over with Madeline and my mom routing him on!!
I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders - I now believe with 100% certainty that he will overcome this and be the person he was up until May 18th. I am so thankful - I can't even form the words to really express it right now. This is a miracle.
Where is the emote-icon for happy tears?!!!

Dani,
Although we don't know each other really, I've followed your posts about Kenneth and continued to pray. I'm so excited for you and your family that he's starting to speak! I can't believe how amazing that is! What a blessing. Thinking about Christopher being able to talk to his father and have his father respond makes me cry.. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Kenneth's Thread *11/20/08 - WORDS AND CONSISTENT SOUNDS!!!!!!!!*
I cannot even imagine the happiness you and your family are feeling right now
I am sitting here with constant tears streaming down my face (which became MUCH heavier as I read about Vinny's dream) and in constant awe of Kenneth and his improvement! I feel as though I am watching you all sit there playing UNO with him as well as feeling as if I were there in tears with you all to accept his award.
I hope Kenneth continues to just stream past everything from here on making amazing strides!
