Yes....Taylor Swift. You may be wondering why this post is about Taylor Swift. Well, it's because Tegan absolutely loves her! Ever since Tegan was a baby, her music calmed her like nothing else. When Tegan began having seizures, the only thing that would calm her down after was listening to Fearless by Taylor! It was seriously amazing to see this. It never stopped there, Tegan soon recognized other songs by TS, and the music became part of our daily routine.
Therapists who worked with Tegan soon realized if they played her music (mainly Fearless) , they would get way more out of therapy sessions. Tegan will even stand briefly with her leg braces on if she hears the familiar voice:D
Tegan also receives music therapy, and we even had her therapist attempt to play Taylor's music on his guitar.
With all this being said, I am trying very hard to have Tegan meet Taylor Swift one day....I am on Twitter, I am emailing the Ellen Show, anything and everything!!!! I am going to keep trying to have this story heard because it is truly amazing what her music does for our non verbal little girl!
Miss Tegan cannot speak so its my job to make all her dreams come true...and she has her own way of letting us know that this is one of them!!!
