Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hi Everyone! It's been so long since I've been out here, thought I'd reintroduce myself to the group. I'm the proud Mom to 7 year old triplets, , , and . is my RSS boy. is profoundly deaf in both ears and uses the aid of a Cochlear Implant to hear. He has congenital scoliosis and a single right kidney. He's has numerous surgeries - g-tube, undescended teste, 2 Cochlear Implants, 2 Spinal fusions, fundoplication, numerous ear tubes, etc., etc. He really doesn't have much hearing with his Cochlear Implant, so relies on Sign Language as his primary language. He's on prevacid for reflux, Peptamen Jr. for overnight feeds, periatin, and Nutropin (we just started this last Fall). So, as you can see, he does keep us hopping. We live in Connecticut and see Dr. Harbision about every 3 months. is doing well - we don't have any more surgeries on our plate at the moment. Our big decision at the moment is to decide where to place him for school for next year. He's been attending a school for the deaf, but this year we decided to partly mainstream him in our local school 2 days a week. He's a Kindergarten, so we felt this was the year to do that. Next year, we really need to pick 1 school for 1st grade. It's tought because there are pros and cons to both environments. Other than that, he's right on schedule for attending 1st grade in the Fall. His siblings are currently 1st graders. Well, glad to be back on-line. If I can be of help to anyone, just let me know. I do have a new email of cwslane@.... Take care. Cheryl Slane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
