RE: non-plagio We may have to get tubes -Staci

[Guest guest]

Staci,

First let me say good luck at the neuro tomorrow. I hope you will let us know

how it goes. It will be good to see the specialist and get some good concrete

answers!

Second I want to say thank you for the info you provided about speech

development. is only 18 months old, but we really thought she would be

saying more by now. She is and has been in a VERY stimulating environment for

speech development and yet she hardly says but three different words. She

stayed with my husband, sister and mom until she was 13 months old and was

talked to constantly. My mom, sister and myself all have degrees in

elementary education (in fact my sister's degree is in early childhood

education!!) so we value the importance of learning and development. She goes

to the daycare at our church now and she has a great teacher who provides all

sorts of language and speech experiences. can say " more " , " ba-ba " and

SOMETIMES " mama " and " dada " . That is pretty much it and really only our

family can understand what she is saying. She does LOTS of gesturing and she

leads us by the hand to show us what she wants or what she wants us to do.

She understands almost all of what we say (it seems anyways). If I tell her

to go get something or go do something she does.

OK, enough rambling. I'm very concerned about her speech, but I know I should

not worry and that every baby develops at their own rate. I think I mainly

worry because so far she has done everything else quite early - at least all

her gross and fine motor skills have come early. I hope the tubes will make a

difference. I appreciate your explanations and suggestions. I will have her

tested by a therapist if she doesn't get going after the tubes. Thanks for

your input and help - I really appreciate it!!!!

Marci,

I just had a visit with an old girl friend of mine and her daughter who was

two in April. The little one was talking in complete sentences. This was

amazing to me because the last time I saw her she had maybe two or three

words. Her mom said it was as if she woke up one day and decided to talk.

I had a neice who was the same way. You are right - they all develop in

their own way. Testing is a good idea too just to be sure and to get her

that little kick start if you find it is needed.

Take care. Make sure you keep us up to date on how things are going.
