Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Oh can I relate to you and how you feel, I was in that same boat for a long time and it took reading the posts and finally getting so sick of the way I felt for me to get it back into my head. You are so right about it really having to be in your head and I hope it will click for you like it did for me. Al it took was a simple comment from Tory " When I slip I go forward because if I go backwards its like I've quit. " Well it might not be the exact words....anyway that is all it took for me because it was like I had quit and wouldn't admit it. I have been OP for a week and even started exercising again. I feel so much better already. You can do it, I know you can !!!! keep reading the post and also parcipate a litle it reall helps. Thersa Hi Everyone!! I hope everyone is doing well. I have not posted in some time but I have been reading everyone else's posts. I have not really been with it the past few weeks, it is not clicking right now. I know what I have to do, there is just something in my head that is not allowing me to do it. I wake up every morning with great intentions, have my day planned and do fine while I am at work, then I get home and all hell breaks loose. I just wanted to vent for a minute. Thanks for listening. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Rita, Don't remember if I wrote or not but am very sorry to hear about your mom. My mine since I have been on this baclofen is really getting to me. I can't remember anything. LOVE, Jane Anne Re: Hello All > Janet: > > i haven't been able to sleep for years.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Yes, you did Jane Anne, and I want to tell everybody that we did have the consultation this morning, and it was not good new the tumor is " invasive cancer " , and she went on to tell her what option's she had to combat it. With out going into detail I will tell you what my MOM has decided and that is to have the tumor removed, and go on medication. No chemo or anything like that. That's what we all hoped she would do. It is so scary to hear that " 'C " word, especially when it's your 87 year mother. I wish I could write to you all individually and thank you for your prayer's and support, but I just don't have the energy. I sure hope you understand. I will keep you all posted, thank you all an God Bless each and every one of you. Rita Till next time!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hi Rita, Again I am sorry about your Mom. What does invasive cancer mean? That was probably a good decision on your moms part to not do chemo. Chemo is a very hard procedure to go through. Again prayers are with you both. Tell your mom we all care and wish her well.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Ricky is a four year two month old male with bilateral profound hearing loss. His hearing loss is believed to be congenital in nature and progressively worsened. Aside from Ricky’s hearing loss there were no other complications or health concerns at birth. Ricky received a multi-channel cochlear implant in his right ear on October 28, 2004, from the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC Ricky is currently being educated with a total communication approach in which spoken English and signs are used Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hello, In my opinion, 40 minutes a week isn't enough speech if he is only jabbering. My daughter started out with 60 minutes a week and it was uped to 70 minutes a week last year. We also made sure that this time was individual speech, no groups. In addition we also see a speech therapist outside of school for 1 hour a week. My daughter's loss in a moderate/severe loss. Is he in any therapy to help him learn to hear with his implant? This would be aural habilitation. Is the special ed teacher deaf, or is it a teacher trained to work with deaf/hoh kids. If he is normal in everyother way with no delays, then he wouldn't need a special ed teacher. He needs someone who knows how to teach a child who is deaf/hoh, known as a teacher of the deaf (TOD) or a hearing intinerent (HI). They have gone through training to learn just how to work with these children. Is he in a classroom for deaf/hoh children? Then he probably has a TOD. If he's not, it there one in a district near you that he could attend. If you live in an urban setting you usually have more choices, but if you're in a rural setting, you may need to be more creative. Is there a district near you that may have some of the services your grandson needs and could they work out an agreement? Many districts will tell you that they don't have the resources, and although that may be true, they still need to provide them to him if they are in his IEP. If you do not agree with what the IEP says, you do not have to sign it. Also, if you see that things are not working out, you can call an IEP meeting at any time. Then the district has to schedule a new meeting within a certain number of days (I forget exactly how many). This is a website that has a pop-up IEP. It gives you the usual line that the school personel will say to you and it shows you some responses and also the law that supports it. http://www.handsandvoices.org/articles/education/popup/pop_index.html If there is anything that you need help with, just let us know. I think it's great that you are helping your grandson and daughter with this.

My grandson is getting 20 min twice a week. He seems to be hearing...but doesn't speak...just jabbering. My daughter and I feel he needs more. Have an IEP friday. He has a deaf special ed teacher. IEP are confusing and all different. Trying to be an informed grandparent and assist my 21 year old daughter with decisions Were not sure if a Deaf especial ed teacher is the right choice. Ricky was implanted in Oct of 2004 and activated in Nov. He is restless...gets frustrated sometimes...but is an amazingly, wonderfull happy child. Of course we have heard that school doesn't have resources for more therapy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
