yes i have and this morning he got up and decided he wanted a big boy cup(instead of his sippy) and he want to use the potty i think this surgery has made him grow up kinda in a way because it was almost like he was stuck at age 1 because he couldnt talk and stuff and now all of a sudden hes 2 1/2 again!

so we had a hearing test done today! he passed with flying colors

they said his tubes look good and they put head phones on him and made him listen to what they said then point at pictures....he did wonderful she said she dont think he has any hearing problems anymore! im soo happy to hear that!

he is also doing well in therapy putting sentences together sometimes but his speech is still really slurred and he has problems saying somethings so he will need therapy through school too but thats ok he is starting to talk and it is such a blessing!

I know its been a while and though I no longer have my Gliders they are with a family that is taking very good care of them...she sends me pics of them all the time and she says they have been introduced to her baby which is 1 year old and my 2 girls were about 2 and they are all getting along great!
In other news with my son we have had some very big speech delays because of his hearing problems earlier and he is having difficulty with a lot of things...he has been diagnosed with a speech impairment called Appraxia which he will grow out of but its going to be a long road and lots of work right now he sees a speech therapist 2 times a week and soon to move it to 3 times a week...we go to the ear dr. on wed. to see if things on that end are going good i hope everything is still ok but i just wanted to let everyone know why i haven't been on much lately i do still love getting on here and reading everyone's posts i just don't always have time to comment and stuff!

Heather, its so nice to hear from you again. Thats wonderful news about your son. Im so happy for you as you were so worried about him....what a relief this must be for both of you. <<hugs>>

Oh, I'm sorry that this crisis (and hopefully it's smaller than it currently seems to be). You and your family are in my prayers and I'm sending good energy your way. If you need to go find a private place for a good cry, please allow yourself to do so. It's definitly a healthy way of releaving stress. And then turn a smile on & keep your chin up. With today's medical advances I'm sure everything will turn out all right. :D
