I swear we are living parallel lives. We have many of the same concerns with our little peanut but are just a couple of months behind you in the process. We are even moving to your neck of the woods in a couple of weeks! Would love to have a recommendation for a sw for post placement reports. I'll hit you up after we are settled...:)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341013937769345305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209647468117242658.post-31661103669729909822009-10-29T16:21:40.180-04:002009-10-29T16:21:40.180-04:00Eme looks so happy and healthy - it brings tears t...Eme looks so happy and healthy - it brings tears to my eyes to remember and read about where she was and to see what progress she has made with you. : )Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573624887756370227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209647468117242658.post-87978075011807257362009-10-29T01:51:17.051-04:002009-10-29T01:51:17.051-04:00Keep up the good fight for services.

I wish that some professionals would realize that not all kids are the same and they don't know everything.<br /><br />I have a question. How hard was it teaching E to sign? Emi is profoundly deaf in one ear and severely deaf in the other but after they place the tube in a few weeks, they expect she'll only be moderately deaf in the one ear. Then they'll fit her for a bone conductive hearing aid. Anyhow, she has been very stubborn about learning sign. Probably the Hunan spice in her. Any tips or tricks until she can hear the way she should so she can learn to speak?Lienehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572578381386253334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209647468117242658.post-84193662039014761262009-10-24T15:16:56.680-04:002009-10-24T15:16:56.680-04:00That is a great picture and great news.

Fingers crossed that both Eme and my Emma will catch up quickly with some support from therapy.<br /><br />There is something about traveling that helps kids to gain a new skill. My special needs son and Emma both learn new things after a trip.

That photo is priceless. She is just as cute as can be. You are addressing all of her physical problems aggressively to get her the help she needs to fix her gait problems. You don't hide from reality but tackle her problems one by one. Her well being shows up in that cherubic smile.

If so, I have addressed this question/concern many times already and will no longer discuss it.

Sounds like she has come really far since your first check up/evaluation. It just amazes me how she can make such marked improvement in a short period of time.
