Raising Shelby
By: Margaret Gardner

I was four days from turning thirty-one when I gave birth to a big, healthy, handsome baby boy we named Shelby.

Eight months later a neurologist told us Shelby would never walk or be potty trained but six months later Shelby walked. And three years later Shelby became potty trained.

A nurse once told us Shelby may never speak. Although Shelby is currently far behind other children his age in his speech ability he communicates very effectively verbally and non verbally.

Shelby’s dentist said he would never brush his own teeth yet the last two years of his care of our son’s teeth he witnessed himself how well Shelby became able to care for his teeth himself.

Shelby currently does practically everything several professions claimed he would never do which is why I’m so glad we put our trust in the power that is capable of exceeding the medical expectations.
