    Hi folks.Havent been on in quite a while due to various factors revolving around the weeman.He was quite ill for a wee time,but on the mend now.The speech therapy has transformed him even with him being sick.He's up to 9 words from zero 2 months ago!Poker wise,it continues to be a grind with results so bad.Need to keep drummin it in that it will change for the better.The screen seems to still entertain the weeman while im playin so at least i can have someone watch me lose at the moment lol.
    Cheers

    That's Brilliant news Paul.  If it's a personal thing ignore this , but what are the 9 words he's speaking now.... The first three better not be.. Call, Raise, Fold   ;o)

    Great news Paul!  Glad to hear he's on the mend as well.  FWIW I've got a grumpy teenager and he only knows TWO words!  "Eh" & "Uh"!  Well thats the only two I've heard him say in about a year!  ;-))

    Excellent news on the speech progress, although I half expected the 9 words to be "How could you call me with that poor hand?" :)
  • edited July 2012
    am expecting the next words to be TILT,RAISE,BUBBLE,FOLD,CALL paul.
    Glad the weeman is doing so well

    Hi all.Been a while since I last updated,so here goes.We're comin to the end of the weemans 1st block of speech therapy sessions and like I have posted previously,remarkable progress has been made.A different child from my 1st post on this topic.So many words its now its difficult to see what my wife and I were doin wrong to begin with compared with the therapist,but anyway such a different child now its amazin.With regards to the possible autism situation,we are no nearer knowing due to waiting lists and various tests etc,so thats frustrating.I have actually this week printed this thread out and sort of made it into a wee book of sorts.Read through it last night and it was weird going over all the stories other posters had to offer and the well wishers posts which truth be told brought a wee tear or two to the missus' eyes.So thats it really just another wee update and thanks again for all the wonderful contributions to this thread.Really has been a joy goin through it again.
    Also as this is a poker forum I better add that my play still sucks at the mo lol!!
    Will be on tonight to try again.
    Best wishes
    Paul

    Hi Big'

    Nice to see things are going well but please, feeding the little one on Liverpool and the Spion Kop....c'mon, it must be Everton. You don't want the wee man tearful ALL the time do you?
    Keep the smile on the family's face mate. As socrates said "Live life as play..." Best wishes....hope to see you at the tables on a monday sometime...

    Hey bignoise10, keep the faith.  In Brendan we trust.  Both my girls are being brought up as Liverpool fans.  I hope the weeman keeps improving at this speed.  If you can get to the SPT final it would be great to see you and I'm sure there are a few peoplewho would get you a pint!

    Take care and run better

    TY For updates Paul!!

    Am sure we are ALL inspired & supportive of this continued story!!


    ANYTHING CAN BE ACHIEVED!!..........for Instance.....


    Q,  HOW COULD WEEMAN EAT A LARGE ELEPHANT?

    A,  EASY....................

  • edited August 2012


    ...........With Patience, AND LOTS AND LOTS OF VERY SMALL BITES!!!!


    SEE!!  Believe!!

    Don't forget the brown sauce.  Elephant tastes so much better with brown sauce.  If it was Giraffe then you need red but deffo brown for an elephant :)
  • edited August 2012
    Cheers for responses guys.Still means a lot readin supportive messages.Re the elephant thing,weemans a greedy wee ****,so its highly likely he'd tackle it.Though chocolate spread would be the topping of choice lol!!Play well tonight folks and hopefully my game will go the same direction as the weemans progress.
    Cheers

    Hi Paul

    Love reading about your wee mans progress! So nice to see something positive on this forum.  Try not to get yourself too frustrated about the lack of autism diagnosis, I'm still waiting for answers a year later.  I used to let it frustrate me but now I realise that as soon as the professionals know I'll know!!

    Good luck at the tables :)
