Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I need help for a parent in Hong Kong who only speaks traditional and some simple Chinese. The two of us have been going back and forth trying to communicate through the translation sites but she doesn't speak English and I don't speak Chinese and the translation sites help just so much, so much doesn't translate well. (even when I wrote " Hi Lily " that translates in Chinese to " feeds the lily " !) Lily found our group through The Late Talker book which is published in Chinese that she has already read. She sounds like an awesome Mom who is out there desperately seeking help for her child. I so wish that there was someone here that can reach out to help them. Lily's son Jacky is 16 and from what I gather is essentially non-verbal. He only makes simple babble like sounds like " ma ma " . Her son has had seizures as well at some point -but I can't make out what type of therapy he's had for speech. She also is asking about the fish oils (it's confusing enough trying to understand it in a language you know!) Please email me at lisa@... if you can help Lily and Jacky. Even if you don't speak Chinese but know someone that does that would like to help -that would be fine too. Just someone who can help be a go between. Here for example is her latest email to me (that I translated at AltaVista from Chinese to English) " you give an opinion I extremely have the confidence to you! Jacky now taught by me in the home that, Jacky once first time had the insane epilepsy in 16-8-2003 8:30am, was greatly manifests suddenly, the whole body spasm, I thought the matter, I panic-stricken extremely, went to the fragrant ¡õuniversity hospital brain god fine branch to examine the card afterwards, the electroencephalogram normally, the magnetic force resonated looks up the brain, the brain is normal; The food western medicine 2 years, every 3-4 ¡õmonth also manifests suddenly a time, in 2005 brain god fine branch professor introduced Jacky makes Chinese " the needle ÖË " therapy, I go to the Chinese medicine in a big way ¡õto ask professor to open the Chinese native medicine to Jacky, the present oneself stops using the western medicine, completely uses the Chinese native medicine and the massage presses the mold, the effect is extremely good, the insane epilepsy oneself stops I clearly knew does not have the language treatment not to be good to Jacky, but I now -odd money has not paid own expenses on the language treatment, several years painful experience is weary to our body and mind, the money oneself exhausts, but I still persisted defends ¡õthe son, is him mother -- the teacher -- nurse, I diligently absorb the education and the China and the West medicine treatment knowledge, unceasingly progresses, uses for to help I pitiful - beloved son Jacky, I am willing life-long to study and to discuss and study diligently wait for help him!

Your field of vision is broader than me; Contacts more medicines to grind, hoped you many advise! I am willing to make your life the friend! Respects you Lily from HK " When I translated my clear messages from English to Chinese to send to Lily and then take what has translated and translate it back again to English, it was just as hard as Lily's message above to me to understand. Talk about a communication problem huh?! Thank you for anyone who can help!! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 , I don't know anyone who speaks/reads or who could translate chinese for you. However, my son does have a Chinese boy in his some of his H.S. classes- however he doesn't speak English.. LOL. (Nor does he have a translator) But a thought occured to me.. Could you possibly call your local High Schools, and see if they offer Chinese as a foriegn language? If they do, maybe you can contact one of the students to help you? or the teacher. Or possibly one of the community colleges, state colleges etc.. Maybe a Chinese-American Club within your community, or a neighboring community. Wish I could help you more. Also, I would like to send you my deepest and dearest blessings to you, Glenn, and the rest of your family. It must have been a very scarey time for all of you. I'm happy to hear all is well now. Please do let us now how the new fish oils work for him, you, and the boys. Take care, and God Bless all of you.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Thanks to all that responded about helping Lily! The offers were all wonderful but the best possible situation did happen for Lily in that one of our members here who has a " late talker " herself, also from Hong Kong (but who speaks Cantonese, Mandarin and fluent English) has already been corresponding with Lily via email...and the two of them have already spoken over the phone! if you speak with Lily and she says it's OK to share some here to either update us or so that perhaps others can help too. We are all thrilled that you are there to help Lily so that she can best help Jacky! Thanks again you get the Golden Mom award of the day! (and thanks for the kind words about Glenn -we are all doing great and I'll send another message updating about the " XtraProEPA " we tried for the first time yesterday) ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
