Phil´s 2nd Trip to the Dolphins
As we had such memorable experiences in 2009 in the Onmega Center, we decided to repeat the adventure a second time. After the first time he began to speak, became generally more open and self confident. This time we flew to Antalya without any expectations, just thought we would see what happens this time. Phil and his Papa flew first, my young son Nick and I flew a week later. (with Grandma and Grandpa for support). It was like coming home, as if we had never left. Phil this time had Flip, Barbara, Christina and Cynthia as his therapeutic Team, Beata, Sema and Julia dealt with the „stiff joints“. Right from the beginning Phil was not anxious at all and looked forward to working with everyone each day. Especially singing with Flip, dancing with him and driving „water taxi“ gave him much joy. At the end he used the „magic word“ all on his own. He quickly became more confident, used longer sentences and personal pronouns („we/“us“). But the best was: He could pronounce „sch“, for which we had waited so long (before it was „Fiff“ oder „Hüppe“). His favourite word is now „SCHön“ J. We are more than happy about the further progress our son made in the therapy.
The Hippo therapy was again also „SCHön“ (nice), Salih and Phil had straightaway contact, even though Phil wanted to see how far he could go with Salih.
In the following months we shall be looking forward to further progress, and we are certain that more changes will become apparent in Phil. We thank you for everything, especially in Phil‘s name, for 14 wonderful days in Antalya. Thank you Barbara, Christina, Cynthia, Sema, Beata, Julia, Renate and Axel. Keep up the good work @Barbara: We hope you will be asking the question: „Who stole the fish out of the bag?“, because you know who it was : „Flip?“, „never“, „who then?“, „it was Phil!“.
