Dad To Dad 1 - Tony Oommen of Oak Brook, IL How A Virus Caused His Six Year Old Son To Suffer A Traumatic Brain Injury

This is the story of a virus that changed Ben Oommen's life, starting at age six and how it has shaped the heart of his dad and impacted the rest of the family. It's an uplifting story about faith and family. For our "Special Fathers" series, we hear from the fathers of children with special needs. Listen to Tony Oommen's special story.Special thanks to our friends at Our American Network for helping produce the first couple episodes of what would become the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast. www.ouramericannetwork.org Elim Christian Services - www.elimcs.orgSpecial Fathers Network - SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
