Mikaail, My Special Needs Son

Mikaail was diagnosed as cerebral palsy child when he turned one year old. He had stroke at 7. Did stroke rob him of his vision and mobility? I used to think so but not anymore. Looking back I feel it was highly likely his vision was lost due to the mishandling by the so called medical professionals! A student of the Spastic Children Association in Pasir Ris. He attends classes daily, accompanied by Aunty Yaya. He has wonderful and supportive teachers and therapists.

Most Courteous Boy

I am so happy and very proud that Mikaail got an award from his school for being the most courteous boy. I am really surprised that the school recognises this. I dont think he understands what this is about but I told him that since he is very courteous - he never forgot his please and thank you, he was given the award.

Here is his award:

Our happy family!

Mikaail is generally a very polite child and a very happy go lucky too. The other day when I told my brother that he got an award for being the most courteous boy, my brother gave him $50 and he immediately said thank you without even having to prompt him. This gift will also go to his bank account.

Anyway, when my sister teased him about sharing his award with her and buy Macdonald burger or KFC chicken, he said no as he is sharing his award money with mama and dada. Usually when he gets presents, he will want to open his gifts with me.
