[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 70081, member: 84"] Marcie It can be very hard admit you need help. I was so darn frustrated with Travis over the whole Lets walk out in traffic and see if they can not hit me thing I thought I'd strangle the kid. FINALLY got into contact with visually impaired services in our area. Got him the white cane that hopefully will prevent someone from running him over while he's out walking..... And the boy wouldn't use it!!!! And it wasn't just the cane, he wouldn't use the hundreds of dollars worth of equipment they gave him either. (they gave it to us free by the way) Called the Occupational Therapist (OT) that had come to train him with the cane and asked if he had any ideas. He told me Travis would have to come to accept it on his own. And he would eventually, because he'd be forced to. This past year he's been taking his cane wherever he goes. I haven't said a word. Scared to jinx it. (now I just pray the people in this town are smart enough to know what a white can means) I'm so sorry you guys are having to go thru this. Sending many warm ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
