All of the electrodes are attached to wires that run down to a backpack that she has to wear. Everytime that my daughter gets one done....my wife takes her out for lunch and to pick out a small toy.

My wife called me crying one time because they were out eating lunch and some lady walked by the table they were sitting at and said under her breath "she shouldn't even be here.....keep her at home next time". ****ing **** is lucky I wasn't there because I would have snapped.

I think in another thread on here I posted the story of when people's stupidity got the best of me while we were on a trip to WDW. I absolutely embarassed the guy in line who made a reference to my son right in front of his family (wife and 2 kids). After it happened I was feeling real good about what I had done when I caught up to my wife and kids. My son....my Special Needs son mind you....looked at me and said "Dad, why did you do that? It's not his fault he doesn't understand. How are you going to make him understand better when all you did was yell at him"

Talk about a reality check....my wife looked at me and smiled....and all I could think to do was find the guy to apologize. My son and I purposely stood at the Exit to the ride so we could meet him and I could apologize to him and his family. When he approached he was a bit sheepish but my son stuck his big paw out and introduced himself...for that moment I felt like the Child and he was the Parent.

Your children teach you so much....
