		<description>I have been thinking about this since I first read about your son and want to thank you for being open about it, as I think that is a real service.  We went through some different problems, but I can relate to the angst that it causes and everyone should know that there usually is free service and early intervention is important. 

I had some friends who used it in California and had great results with kids who were slow to speak and I wish I had known about it before my child was 3 for some of the different challenges that we were working with. We had to pay for most of the PT and it gets expensive.

I do not know much about hypotonia, but I have known several people with highly gifted children who also had hypotonia. If you go to Amazon there is a woman called &quot;Laura from China&quot; who has a boy with this challenge who is also profoundly gifted. She is English, married to an American, and I mention her because she is kind and wise and perhaps could give you some ideas/reassurance about this path as she has been on it for a while. 

Do you know about the Eides and their blog ( http://www.eideneurolearningblog.blogspot.com/) ? They are really wonderful people who have done wonders for children with challenges (we have used them), although at the moment they are going through their own challenge as their young daughter has cancer.

If this is not helpful to you, just ignore it, but I hope it might help some. I celebrate IT boys success!</description>

		<description>Reading this reminds me that in this life, one can take nothing for granted, as it truly boils down to the smallest of things.  The little things that make life worth living.
Hope springs eternal.
Happy day.</description>
