Life with Liz is full of challenging moments and moments of triumph. These moments alternate in frequency and intensity, but I have a clear sense that every day we have more reasons to celebrate and be grateful than to feel frustrated. Liz responds well to therapy, eats well, and has excellent sleep patterns. She is extremely playful and affectionate. She has a contagious SPARK and LIGHT and is very communicative. Although she has speech difficulties, she has an excellent vocabulary for a 3-year-and-6-month-old. She has also developed a great repertoire of games, especially symbolic play. Her biggest challenge is with color association and remembering recent events, but I feel she’s gradually improving in these areas. She has food allergies to eggs, milk, and gluten. For us, the biggest challenge is dealing with emotional outbursts. Crying and “tantrums” are a constant presence.
