Cheshie6 (and everyone else who might have experience) so does a word have to be said with complete clarity for it to count? M says a lot, but a good chunk of things are pronounced clearly or fully. Good morning is Goo -Ning, and milk is -ilk, pants are tants. I could go on and on. Is it better that she says the stuff appropriately and just can’t get the right sounds out for now? Her pedi said it was fine at her 2 year appointment as long as her caregivers knew what she was talking about and you start worrying more around age 3 for clarity. Since then I have found out that a hearing test alone schedules out 10-12 months and I’m thinking maybe only serious cases get referred out to it in the hopes the lesser ones fix themselves. But if there’s something I should be working on I want to be working on it. I don’t believe so. Sort of goes along the lines of how animal sounds are counted as words. J still refers to a horse as a “neigh neigh” and I’ve asked B’s Speech therapist and she said that’s his word for horse so it counts. Just like tants are for pants. Yeah, A still prefers to call dogs "woah-woahs" even though she says the word dog here and there. Every day she asks me to read "Go, Woah-woah, Go" to her. lol

At ABs hearing eval I was told that we would be “their translators” for quite a while but as long as it made sense or could be approximated to a word that it counted as a word. Yep. I finally figured out the other day that A saying "Day Eewah" was her request for a Dave and Eva cartoon. Doesn't mean she gets her way obviously, but at least now I understand what it is she wants. Ha.

Damn kleigh. I'm sorry she was up so long. And because I was watching the oscars of course this happened right as I was about to go to sleep. So I basically slept 4-6:30 this morning. Ugh, the worst. I'm sorry. Hope tonight is much better.

dashook you had something parathyroid related right? How did it come about? I told my doctor today about my bone loss in my jaw. We chatted about it and she asked me a few questions, then she looked up references related to my other autoimmune stuff. Anyway she mentioned something about parathyroid and vitamin D, I don't remember the details (long conversation and I'm pretty tired) but she gave me a requisition for bloodwork on those 2. Anyway google is a dark maze of scary stuff and I'm trying not to get myself sucked in until I have more information.
