Calvin Boyd - Age 7 years                 ( Born May 1994 )

Calvin is 7 years old and my only child.  We found out Calvin's diagnose when he was 3 weeks old, his cry gave it away.  He has no heart, lung or any life threatening problems, besides you average cold and flu.

Calvin is in Grade 2, and attends a normal school and has an aid all day with him.  He has done very well this year, reading, doing spelling tests, (on a computer) and attending the regular class functions when possible. 

He has his ups and downs like every other child but have figured out a lot of how to control most of his mood swings.  He does have a aggressive problems, which I would like to keep under control.  I don't see it very much, but at school it happens a bit, not as bad as a couple of years ago.  Most of it is do to his communication, he is really talking a lot lately and does do a bit of signing as well.  There has been a few times he is even explaining something to me in a sentence I tell you I was in tears the first time I heard that!!

He is just a special little boy in his own ways, and is very loving young man!! 

Everyday he impresses me with something else to be proud of him for.

I could go on all day, so please keep in touch with us and I hope to talk to someone soon. 

Karen and Calvin
