a brief background:
My name is Erwin, a work-from-home dad living in San Pablo City, Philippines. We have three kids, Kirsten, Zeppelin (the start of this blog), and Vedder.

Zeppelin, or Zepp as we fondly call him, was born with a severe infection that resulted in the lack of oxygen during the first moments of his life.

He was behind developmentally in his first years, and was finally diagnosed with GDD (Global Developmental Delay) when he turned 2 by a Developmental Pediatrician

We threw in everything, including the kitchen sink, so he could have his therapies -- occupational, speech and as well as special education, with the hopes that he'll improve before 7 years old -- the time when the brain is at its most malleable. He's now past that age, and have only gained little improvement.

He has the cognitive skills of a 2 year old, language skills of a 1 year old, motor skills of a pre-schooler, and the appetite of a full-grown adult.

I love him with all of my heart.

If you haven't read it yet, please do take the time to read the beautifully-written A Day In The Clouds which chronicles one of Zepp's misdaventures.
