[Guest guest]

Hey everyone,

I find myself with more questions and getting very nervous.

just over a week before Bree finally gets to go to this new ENT from the

Children's Hospital. Last night after bath I was drying the youngest 2

girls off and of course we were jabbering. I was not talking softly and

possibly even to a whisper to my younger daughter (2) and Bree told me

" don't talk to (so) twiet (quiet) " . Her saying that has been playing

over and over in my head of so many reasons or not reasons why she would

have said that. Then this morning on the couch I was talking to is

and they were intermittently watching cartoons, and I'd say " Bree " in a

whisper, then gradually get louder till she responded. When she

responded it was always with " what? " and she'd move her head and upper

body so that is' body was not in front of my face. So then with her

attention I held my hand SLIGHTLY angled but more so straight out from

my upper lip to try to block her from seeing my mouth, I would ask her

something she would know the answer to. But EVERY time she would tilt

her head down to look UNDER my hand!!!!!

Few other things- she always sits in the same spot to watch TV, and if I

move the couches she gets mad and wants it back the way it was. Her

sense of smell is like a dog I swear! I have never heard her say " I hear

the popcorn " it's ALWAYS after its done popping and dumped in a bowl " I

mell (smell) poporn (popcorn) " . She can smell things that it takes me a

few minutes to finally smell- usually like outside smells while in the

van.

The other thing that happened recently was we ate lunch with my 6yro at

school last week in the cafeteria- Bree hated it, she hated being there

she clung to my side and cried to go home because of the noise in an

elementary school cafeteria.

Correlation? What are your thoughts? She's been said to have " mild

hearing loss " but the first audiologist said in his report that it

adequate for speech and language development at this time. Her

Tympanograms were flat before- have no idea what they are since

November, and her OEM were " absent " .

Can she be this good at coping and only be THREE?

I go Thursday for the IEP's results on her speech and language eval, I'm

going to be pessimistic but I'm pretty sure its to tell me she isn't

delayed enough because I already know it's not 2 standard deviations.

She has physical therapy for her toe walking on Friday and probably

getting leg braces of some sort made, and then the ENT next Wednesday.

I'm getting nervous for all of this!
