Re: non-plagio We may have to get tubes -Amy

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the input Amy!! My mom has been telling me the same thing.

She says that one day will wake up and be talking in complete

sentences!! You know, she is probably right - it has been my

experience over the past 33 years that my mom is almost always

right!!! has soooo much language floating around her all the

time that maybe she is just taking her time, absorbing it all and

getting ready to take on the world!!

I found out yesterday evening that we have an appointment with the

ENT on July 17. I am looking forward to getting things underway

thanks to this group and all the words of encouragement I have

received. Once again I have to say this group is incredible!!!!
