Re: Found some new devise for sensory issues helping in speech

Sue,

I had my gallbladder out two years nearly to the day after Hannah was

born....will be praying for you and hope it can last and wait until December.

mine they could never find 'stones' or 'sludge' etc.. so everytime I had a flare

up bad enough to send me to the ER they would run the standard test and since i

was still having symptoms and pain they scheduled the surgery in April 2002.

surgery went well, I was sent home after the anesthesia wore off (I wish I could

have stayed over night and I could have I found out later!!) be preparred.. they

did not warn me of this but right after I woke up and they had me sit up and try

to eat and drink.. (dry toast and gingerale) then they came back in to stand me

up and try to 'walk me' before I could get dressed..I threw up! >GROSS

ALERT<...green bile and ALLOT of it! not a problem and the nurse was already

reaching for a basin and I thought how dod she know.. she said " I never took

care of a gallbladder patient that did not throw up after surgery " ! so this must

be common. they deemed my gallbladder as 'infected' and irritated was why it

kept acting up. my whole family minus my one sister all had ours out. so

wondering if it is not hereditary? and two of us happened shortly after our last

child was born.. my one sister suffers form Kidney stones regularly as well. add

diabetes to the mix..... need to research this more.... talk to you soon and

good lulck with school and the gallbladder surgery. keep me posted! ~Holly~

Found some new devise for sensory issues helping in speech

Hi all,

I am sorry I have not been very involved lately. I try to read everything to

keep in the loop but I do not always have to to answer. Things have been quite

hectic around here with me back in school. Welcome to all of the new families.

I have found out a few things this week though. Isabella's OT suggested this

hearing devise for her. No she does not have any trouble with hearing it is to

help with balance. She has a special set of head phone that allow her to hear

the outside world while listing to cds. These cd have songs and I guess use

different frequency of high and low pitches. Some how this is to help with the

balance if they have sensory issues. What we have found it seems to be helping

her with speech. This week after a few sessions with the head set on she started

even putting 2 words together. She said " all done " and " TV on " and Bye Dad " . She

has also become a little chatter box using words that she only knows, but that

is okay I just pretend I know what she is saying. The word mommy has been very

consistent and she uses it all of the time. I am hoping the words stay this

time. I do not understand fully how this devise can work but it

really does seem to be helping in all areas and Isabella loves it. You only use

it for 5 to 30 minutes a day and must be doing an activity while she has it on.

You can not have the TV on while it is on they suggested I take her to the park

with them or out in the back yard to play. I just wanted to pass this info on.

Also if you guys could please say a little prayer for me. I need to have my

gallbladder out and I am trying to push it off until December when school lets

out. I just really can not afford to miss school. It has been very difficult

going back after this many years of being out.
