He can’t do a lot He can’t say much Look in his eyes He says a bunch He’s not like you He’s not like me Look at him He’s so happy You can tell He’s very smart There’s lots of love Inside his heart His smiles contagious His laughter is free Look in his eyes And you will see He’s endured a lot More than he should But my little Aaron Is the boy that could written for Aaron by his cousin Leslie Harris before her death on 7-4-99 Hi, my name is Shelly and I have a 7 year old with cerebral palsy. His name is Aaron and he is the most beautiful boy in the whole world. There really isn't a story to tell about Aaron. My pregnancy was perfectly normal. I was induced when I was 2 weeks overdue and my delivery was pretty normal. Aaron was a 10 lb. baby boy. I started to notice things when he was about 4 months old. Aaron is currently in kindergarten. He gets physical, occupational and speech therapy 2 times a week for about 45 minutes each time. He currently goes to school for about 2 hours a day 4 days a week. Aaron is very severe physically, but very much above average mentally. He cannot walk, talk, or sit on his own. He has very little head control and no trunk control but he is as sharp as a whip. He is in a wheel chair. He doesn't eat solid foods as he cannot chew and does not have the tongue movement. He is basically on Pediasure (sucks it out of a bottle) and what he won't take out of the bottle he gets through his little Tummy Button. Aaron is such a wonderful little boy and learns more and more everyday. He is such a joy in our life and definitely is my "special gift from heaven".   The Special Child A meeting was held quite far from earth It's time again for another birth. Said the Angels to the Lord above. This Special Child will need much love. His progress may be very slow. Accomplishment he may not show. And he'll require extra care. From the folks he meets down there. He may not run or laugh or play, His thoughts may seem quite far away. In many ways he won't adapt. And he'll be known as handicapped. So let's be careful where he's sent We want his life to be content. Please, Lord, find the parents who Will do a special job for you. They will not realize right away. The leading role they're asked to play. But with this child sent from above Comes stronger faith and richer love. And soon they'll know the privilege given In caring for their gift from Heaven. Their precious charge so meek and mild, Is Heaven's very Special Child. ***Author unknown***   Look what my aunt Christi made for me!
