Child Who Didn’t Speak Until 7’s First Words: ‘I Love You’
Click here for reuse options!Tait Sherman, who is now 10, suffers from a brain abnormality called Bilateral Perisylvain Polymicrogyria, which affects the part of the brain that controls language, reports the Mirror. His mother, Reama, says she has fought for years to have her son diagnosed and get him help, but that his condition is so rare an organization doesn’t even exist yet to help with treatment.
But after years of help from a specialist speech school, Tait gave his mother a hug one night as she was tucking him in and whispered, “I love you.”
“It was the most amazing moment,” Reama said. “To not be able to communicate with someone that you love most in the world, and not be able to say those words that connect you is just heartbreaking. We would always use sign language to say ‘I love you’ but one day when I was putting Tait to bed, he pulled me in to hug him and said the words ‘uv you.’ It was a heart-stopping moment.”
