HI, I recently took my daughter in for a speech evaluation. She will be 3yrs old next week. I have had concerns about her speech since last year but the doctor she had at that time said she was fine and to wait and see. Well when I took her for the evaluation she tested in at about a 19month old for overall communication. She has been diagnosed with apraxia and aphasia, which means she has a hard time processing what you say and also getting the words out. I also took her to a neurologist who ordered an EEG to make sure she is not having seizures and some blood work to test for fragile x,(which takes 6 to 8 weeks to get the results). So please pray for her.

I will be praying for your daughter and your family as you are going to have so much more on your plate than before. Thank goodness you were able to get a diagnosis. Hopefully the EEG and blood work will turn out fine.

April,

I am praying for you and your daughter and for wisdom for the doctors. I have walked down this road before and I know how hard it is to wait and wonder with your little ones. Please keep us updated and I will be praying.

Prayers are going up now for your dear daughter! God is a BIG God, and He is able to do above anything we ask or think.

I'm also in Ohio . . . the Columbus area. Are we anywhere near each other?

I live in a real small town about 20minutes from Bowling Green. Columbus is about two hours away.

Dear April,

Praying for you and your family.

But now, Sweet April, listen to the Lord who created you.
The one who formed you says,
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.
When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you.
For I am the Lord, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom;
I gave Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
Others were given in exchange for you.
I traded their lives for yours
because you are precious to me.
You are honored, and I love you.
“Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
I will gather you and your children from east and west.

Isaiah 43:1-5
