Sorry this is so long. <br><br>Anyway, I hope
that this can be of some encouragement to someone. Tae
has never given up. So as parents neither can you,
you just never know. We were told that she would
never talk. She does. She wouldn't live past the night.
She did. That there was no way that they were going
to waste their time and money and reputations on
trying to fix anything. Ok!!! But we all refused to just
give up. The human body is so amazing at how it can
adapt. Tae not only walks, she can ride a ten-speed
bike. Oh yea I forgot to mention that her rt arm does
not straightern and her rt leg does not bend. Tae
also drives a car. She has no special equipment. There
is no restrictions on her lisence. The person who
gave her the driving test said Tae was the best driver
she had all day!<br>This is only some of the
highlights, but I just want you to know as parents and
children or adults that do not ever give up there is
always hope. I am not saying that it has been easy. We
had to give our house we were living in back to the
bank earlier in our fight to succeed, because it was
either pay the house payment or buy Tae's formula. We
bought the formula. She had a gastrostomy tube at the
time. She now eats and drinks by mouth. Like I said you
just never can give up. I hope that this is making
sense to you. If anyone would like to share or would
like to get something off their chest I am willing to
listen and give any support I can. I hope I haven't
bored you with all this info. Again Thank you for
allowing me to be apart of your fight. Thanks,<br>With all
my support,<br>Braxton, Tae's mom
