quan_daniel Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Someone should change the subject to SO HAPPY! :-).. It just shows that we are overly focus and worry about his TS and forget all about his talent. If you have confident in yourself and if you have only 1 leg to stand on..you still walk faster than the person with 2 legs but lack confidence. Who knows what his confidence does to his TS..probably cure him too.. He will be less conscious about his tics and enjoy his new found freedom which is singing.. The lesson I learn here is not to focus so much on my child's tic but on his potential.. and encourage him everyday.. Thanks Giselle.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Giselle, Wonderful, wonderful news! You handled it beautifully, and your son must be so happy too! Thanks for sharing, what a marvelous Christmas Story for us all. Claire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydsmom Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 That is great news. How hard it must have been to step out of the way and wait for God to answer the prayers. He changes peoples hearts so often and I love when we get to see it!! Hoyt is very lucky to have a mom who is so devoted to him - even if he doesn't realize it right now. Definitely stock up on your kleenex it will be well used! Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Congratulations to Hoyt and his proud family! It would be amazing to be there and watch, but we'll be there in spirit, sharing in your bliss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad_ccl Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 what wonderful news. have a great time at the concert - looking forward to hearing how fabulous Hoyt does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giselle Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 SO HAPPY! Hoyt did wonderfully! He was great! He didn't tic at all as I expected but apparently there was SOME movement up there - he told me "my knees were knocking together I was so nervous!" You would never have known it though. There was about 600 people there and everyone loved it. I was taking NO chances - he soaked in a magnesium bath for 40 minutes before he had dinner. Dinner consisted of grass fed beef, artichokes, brown rice and a little extra B12! The cutest part was that he told the girl he's had a crush on for two years that she looked pretty and that her dress was nice. She waited awhile and then told him "you look so handsome." He was over the moon about THAT! What a great night! Thank you all for your support in this - it totally turned out perfectly and he was SO proud of himself!!!

kim Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Oh Giselle, I have goose bumps. I couldn't be happier for your family. That is so cute about the kids and their remarks. I kept checking all night to see if you had posted. What great news, to get to sleep on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Giselle, I am so happy for you and Hoyt! I pray that this is a big stepping stone for him and that God will continue to make opportunities for him to be able to use the talent he has been blessed with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cum Passus Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Giselle, You and your son were on my mind all night, and I couldn't wait to see if you were going to let us know how it went. I knew deep down it was going to go great. Just a peace I guess. (easy for me to say it wasn't my son up there.) What a beautiful Christmas Blessing for you and your family. C.P.

quan_daniel Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Giselle, I am so glad your child did so well in his performance but I can not help but why we as a parent always try to find out if the child tics or not during his performance. It happens to me too..and I regretted to say I missed some of his performance because I was busy noticing if he tics.. Congrats overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giselle Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Daniel, you're so totally right! It just so happens he's doing really well right now and I really didn't expect him to tic at all so wasn't really looking at that, more at whether he would get the words correct because there were two verses that are so similar as only a few words change in them (he got them right) - but thought you all might like to know as this is the board for it. He was so tired this morning he didn't want to go to school - and even mused why would they have school after such an exciting event? I told him it was for people to be able to tell him he did a good job - he perked right up after that! Such a ham! You know I never get to use this icon but today I can, he's my little star!!!! Thanks to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Ah Giselle, I love your story, it is such a happy one, it just made my day today. I read somewhere that life is really like a pearl necklace, where it is actually composed of very special memories (ie each pearl). This was one of those moments that you can cherish forever, the song and the girl crush. Claire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilam Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hey Giselle, I just wanted to say congrats to you and your son..Tonight I have felt waves of emotions from my son’s dilemma to your wonderful story and I have to say thank you. After reading about your talented son, I feel like if my son does have TS its just a bump in the road..My son will be fine and what ever he has I just have to deal with it..Thank you again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitchy Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hi Giselle, I just wanted to let you know that I can empathize with you on that feeling of exclusion whether it's yourself someone close to you. I am a young teen with TS and I know how certain people can be about it. The good thing is that TS is becoming more widely known and accepted. I'm so glad that you son was treated equally. -Twitchy (my TS nickname ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
