Friday night, while we were at the fair, we ran into Dave's sister, Karen. She was holding Abi & the next thing we knew we lost them. When we found Karen, we didn't find Abi in her arms like before, but to the side of her was a man that neither Dave nor I recognized, & he was holding our Abi. Watching him with Abi was one of the sweetest moments I have ever seen. He was so gentle & so tender with her. Come to find out this man was Jardee Steed. His name you might not know, but his name... along with his sweet wife, Bobbie, are the names that we have learned about through Abi's "former" Physical Therapist. Jardee & Bobbie were blessed with a sweet & very special little boy named, Tagg. We learned about this family due to the same issues that Abi has been facing...seizures & developmental delays.
Dave has talked to Bobbie on the phone concerning some past medications we were deciding on for Abi, & it was her that helped us make an important decision. Tagg not only suffers from seizures, but he also is delayed in his development, just like Abi! This little boy has what is called
Heterotopia, <--
(click to learn more) which makes him have seizures. My heart is so full with gratitude to this family! I have never in my life felt so close to someone as I do with this family! Abi meeting this family was priceless. She beamed! It was like she was reunited with some of her best friends. She was so happy & it didn't take any warming up for her to the Steeds. She was absolutely content with Jardee & Bobbie. Full of smiles & noises!!! We didn't get to meet Tagg Friday night. But Saturday, while I was there with the girls, Jardee, Bobbie, their girls, & Tagg were all there. I was so excited to FINALLY meet this sweet & handsome little boy! I immediately fell in love with him!!! He is absolutely adorable!!! I also was excited for Abi & Tagg to meet too! They were so cute with each other! They have some of the same similarities. The crooked smile, their eyes look the same, the way they move their hands, and so on. My heart is so full with love for my Heavenly Father & for him sending this sweet angel to our home! And also for us finally meeting the Steeds. These people will be forever friends, and hold a very special place in my heart. I know Tagg & Abi don't have the same disorder, but there is a connection. I am so grateful for The Steeds! We are looking forward to getting together with them & getting to know their family even better!!! Thank you Karen for introducing us to the family we've been waiting to meet.
