Check it out, let me know if there are any problems, I'll try to fix them! :)

I know the stats vary... I've seen 1/100, 1/200 etc.. I went with "as many as 1/100"

Dawn (and Anthony, 4)

thanks so much for sharing Anthony's TS awareness video with us Dawn. You have done a really great job there.....congrats!

hoping things just keep getting better for him. He sure is blessed to have you for a mom :)

Hi Dawn,
I haven't been able to watch it yet. I'm on a silly old dial-up and it takes me ages to get to watch. Later tonight when I get home I'll try to get it all to load I'll then be able to check it out properly. Thanks for sharing!

[ives6797]

Aaawww, thanks so much Chemar! :) :hug:

Lara, I didn't think about that, but yeah people with dial-up will probably have problems.. including my mom... I don't think she'll be able to see it. :(

[ives6797]

Any luck, Lara? I'm thinking dial-up people probably can't see it though.

Hi Dawn, funny that you asked me that. I'd just logged in here to check it out now. I've got the phone line free for a little while this morning, so I've started loading it. I had to find the cable for my speakers too. lol Found them now and we're all set.

Your mum should be able to see it. It's just that it takes time to load is all, but I've watched some really long videos on YouTube so I know it'll work in the end.

As I say, I've just started loading and I'll see how it goes.

I'll post back later. :)

________________

Edited later: OK, well I've tried a few times and for some reason I can't get it working. I had the beginning of it showing fine but then it faded to black screen. I waited till it finished loading and hit play and it just ended and went straight to a screen showing other videos and said "Share" or "Replay" in Red.

I'll keep at it but that's what's happened today.. I'll get it working somehow!!! :)

Aww crap, well thanks so much for trying, Lara! :)

[Lara]

Whoooohooo, got it working! It was a little jerky today. Much faster today than yesterday too and I was able to get through the whole thing. :D

*Sob *Sob. Happy tears. Dawn, it made me cry it was so touching. What a lovely little boy he is and what a wonderful family you are. You've done a wonderful job on the video... it's just beautiful. Such beautiful words in the song too...

There's gotta be a better way
Love is mor'n what ya feel
Love is action love is real
Break your silence n' turn the key
N' be the change you wanna see

Thankyou Dawn. :hug:
He's going to be just fine!

Thanks for putting up with the dial-up hassle and watching it, Lara!! :)

I really liked the words to the song and thought it was the best choice. I'm glad you liked it too!

hi dawn, thanks for this phantastic video. your son is a lovely young boy.

i reduced my tourette's more than 50% with a vegan diet (no animal proteine) and with abandonment of baker's yeast and yeast-products. it's hard, but it works! i don't know anything about the meaning of a vegan diet for other people with tourette's. in germany, the awareness for nutrition and ts is very low.

bye herm
