State of the Monkey

My Monkey-girl is getting tubes put in her ears tomorrow morning. We've been on a wait list to have it done for nearly four months, and we got the call last week with the surgery date ( Read more... )

SO cute!

*hugs* It's never easy to deal with a sick kid.

I really was pleased with the dress and Chucks combination. It seemed to suit her.

It never, ever is. I just hope that we're going to get past the never-ending string of ear infections now, and get her speech on track.

I have an appt with Early Childhood Intervention for Jamey's speech. I don't like that, but he needs it.

I don't know what they're like where you are, but everyone that I've worked with on Monkey's speech was amazing, and really supportive. And once she got going, she kind of just flew. Hopefully it's something they can give you some help with.

I think his main problem is that he's not around other kids, just us. My friend has dealt with them, and she sings their praises.

It's just a little odd still to go from the mother of 2 gifted children, to being the mother of a special needs kid.

I dunno. Anyway, I hope the tubes fix what the need too, and no more sickies!

And it could be all sorts of things--not being around other tiny people, could be that he's got something like Monkey did and isn't hearing properly... could be that he's just taking his sweet time.

The good thing is that you're working on it early. Way, way better to do it now than when he goes to school.
