TYTAN STONE
Every student is held up in prayer and
we see miracles every day. The entire
LLH staff collaborates all their
energies for the students. When you
walk through the halls to take your
little one to their class, you can feel the
positive and spiritual-energy flowing in
the hallways and classrooms. The love
exudes from everyone and every child
who is blessed to attend receives the
most special attention available
in the world.
Tytan loves to go to school. His
vocabulary grows weekly and his
words are appropriate for the situation.
He is working on fine-motor skills and
participating in crafts, problem-solving
situations and learning to play with
other children. He adores music and
sings in tune with all types of
musical genre.

Tytan?”. Peek-a-boo is also still his
favorite game. In so many ways, he
is still our five-year old baby and our
Tytan Turtle.
Tytan’s development and future is
certainly in God’s hands. We all have
witnessed that God has rewired his
brain to see him grow and learn as he
has. There is no way to predict or even
imagine how he will progress, but it
is something new every day. We are
blessed and honored to have Tytan in
our lives.
Having a child with special needs and
being a single mom takes a “village”
to handle the diverse needs every day,
twenty-four seven!! I am fortunate to
have my two daughters, my mom and
dad, and friends to help. Sadly, Tytan’s
father, Freddie, died two years ago in a
drowning accident and his loss has left
a void impossible to fill. Freddie’s dad
and mom are pastors of a church in
Vian, Oklahoma and they are a
wonderful family with lots of kids and
grandchildren who adore Tytan. They
usually have Tytan visit for a week or so
at a time.
At home the everyday events with
Tytan are sometimes comical,
sometimes very “un-nerving” and
stressful, and sometimes very hard.
He is close to walking on his own but
crawls around very fast. He loves to
throw clothes and toys into the ceiling
fan so now he has an adjustable
basketball goal (in the living room)
and has learned how to shoot from his
knees! He loves to sing, loves to play
notes on a piano, and loves to crawl in
