We Need Your Help


My oldest daughter, Sarah, is directing a film about William to enter in the film festival this year (http://www.saicff.org/). I have added her email at the bottom of this post, asking for your help. She completed her first interview today and it went very well - thank you, Dr. Norman!
After filming, we went to play in a nearby park and had a lot of fun. As we were leaving, Sarah noticed William's processor was missing. Guess where we found it?
Needless to say, I try not to ever actually leave a place until I check his ears. With the new processors he always told me that one was off, but now that he's wearing the old ones again he doesn't seem to mind if one comes off (in fact, we're back to him pulling them off frequently - I don't know why). I'm sooooo ready for his new ones to come in.
"A cheerful heart is good medicine..." Proverbs 15:13a
From Sarah:
Hello, friends and family! As some of you already know, I am working on making a movie of William's story to enter in the film festival later this year. I would like your help. If you think of any questions for me to ask on camera, please forward them to me. They can be questions about his health, his daily life, his future, us other children, our family, positive questions, negative questions...ANYTHING you can think of. I haven't decided who all I am going to interview for sure yet, but they can be questions directed to doctors, Daddy and Mommy, therapists, us children, friends, whoever! Anything that you would find interesting. If there was ever a question you wanted to ask, now is the time to do it! Sometimes when you are living in the midst of something, you don't see or wonder things that other people might, so that's where you can all be very helpful to me.

Also, I'm trying to determine for sure what direction to take the movie, so please tell me what YOU would find interesting.

I am on a tight deadline, so the sooner you can email me (or blog comment) your questions, the more likely it will be that I can use them. I am interviewing one of his doctors tomorrow and two more next week, along with therapists. I'm not quite sure when I will do Daddy and Mommy's interview yet.

Thank you all so much for your help on this project. It is so important to me and I am excited to be doing it!

Sincerely,
Sarah
