My Baby and delayed speech

been worried for 1.5 years now..

My Baby at 0 - 6 months.. normal development.. 6-12 months.. i noticed he did not respond to people's names or say for instance Mama.. but he could make scary noises and he knew that.. 12-18 months.. still no changes.. no words.. not recognizable sounds.. 18-24 on a blue moon he will repeat exactly what i said.. but more often than not he would use head nodding, head shaking, hand gestures.. :(..... sounds like i really need a speech-language pathologist

I read further on Delayed Speech/Language development.. and it is possible it can be due to Fafa's ear infection. However I REALLY NEED A speech-language pathologist...

ok i found out about my Baby's ear.. he has an Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) the passage connected the nasal passage to the middle of the ear got infected. It can be caused by; 1) Colds and other nose, sinus, ear or throat infections, 2) Glue Ear, 3) allergies and 4) blockages.

The doc actually listed all of the above as a probable cause.. usually the ETD would go away on its own.. however with Fafa's case.. it did not.. and an ear tube surgery (like today) was performed.. He reported there was thick mucus and the ear needs drainage.. so from my reading today. The ENT doc was spot on.. I have to hope that the mucus drains quickly.

I repeat I REALLY NEED A speech-language pathologist... the ENT told me he had to be 5 years old for him to do it. I can not wait that long..

Everyone tells me it is okay. I do not think so.. I am the Mother and I know how he should be developing. I will be patient but not inactive. Hopefully I find an answer soon.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Yesterday was a wonderful day. My Kiddo had a wonderful birthday with his cousins and girlfriend. hahah not a girlfriend at 3 years old per Se but a friend's daughter. Sigh.. I can smile and I survived. It is six months now.. and we are still living. Thank you God for watching me and my family. Today I am working as I have to meet a deadline. I miss my kids but it is going to be like this for the rest of their lives and my life. There will be times I can spend all day with them and days that they do not see me at all. Tomorrow I know I will have them to myself all day long. So I hope it will be good. In the future I hope to be a better mother to them. I hope that they will have a bright future and have a lot of laughs along the way. Peace to the World.

Ouch!

As for a lot of first year students all over the country, last week must have been an eventful time. I was soo excited to welcome our new first years. Those eager to learn faces. Hmmm soon to be jaded by the hardship of a very trying course. :) My excitement changed to wonder and then to disappointment. Do not get me wrong. I do feel passionate about teaching these young adults. However there are a few of those who are a bit Duh! "Oh no not this type of students" I sighed to myself. Why so "Skima wan?" (also known as Kiasu attitude or overenthusiastic). Ouch. Ha ha ha ha. It brought me back to memories of myself. Maybe I was that student as well. I pause to search of memories of me. Ouch again. I was exactly that type of student. ROFL. No wonder Dr. Eevil called me a geek. Oh well. The whole process of going through a degree will soon smooth that one out. Like it did your's truly. Sigh again. My excitement is back. Wish I did not have to have 2 months maternity...

A bright new day!

Not knowing what to do. But actually having a long list of things that need doing. I choose to do the one thing which was not in the list. Why I do this? I do not know. Been thinking of changing blog site for a while. So here I am in blog world. I am sooooo lazy. I feel like I have no motivation to do my work. I watched superman yesterday morning instead of rushing to work. I like it. I went pass the cinema today and I noticed that bourne supreme is out. wey hey.. need to watch that. I also spent most of hari raya being a laze about in the house. Playing gin rumme with my family, playing with my son and also computer games. I just cant wait for the next episode of Heroes to be out. oooooh I am just crazy about that series. I miss going out but I am too lazy to go out. I still made it to meet a friend at Starbucks city mall. Otherwise I would be stuck in front of the gamecube playing wario ware with my sis and cous.
