My Most Proudest Moment Being My Son's Mom

When my son was born he had a lesion, which is a cyst in his mouth. The Doctors were worried about brain matter coming through so they decided to do surgery. He had surgery when he was 4 years old in August of 2008, this was also his 3^rd week in Kindergarten. The cyst was the size of a pea.

He has always been behind in his speech because of this. He was doing well in school but because of his medical condition and he is the youngest one in his class (he missed the cutoff by 6 days). He was behind but they were working very hard with him.

Parent Teacher conferences arrived and I was nervous about his progress. His teacher had a surprise for us after we came into the room. She asked my son to write his name and read from the book they were working on. After he wrote his name and read this little book it had words like dog and cat with pictures, I cried. I spent the rest of the conference with a Kleenex in my hand. I have prayed for this day and was extremely grateful and relieved that he had accomplished so much in a small amount of time.

To this day he keeps making progress and the cist has not returned. Nightly I keep working with him in hopes that he will catch up to everyone else.
