Well i did it!!!

Haley, hopefully his hearing is fine and he's just not ready to communicate too much. I was really worried about our youngest. She was hardly talking by two. We had her hearing checked, and it was fine. Then one day she started talking and hasn't quit since. They all do things in their own time. It's great that you are having his hearing checked though, because if there is a problem, now is the time to know it so you can help him as much as possible to do well in the future. Sounds like you are doing all the right things for him.

(Just be sure and take him to Bible class, too. That's even more important.)

Marilyn, he's talking but not putting the words together like he should, he saw his old pediatrician, that i love but she changed her schdule and i can't get her in the evenings anymore... she is the only doctor up there i swear that has a brain... all the other doctors want to be in and out... but they want your money $$$$.. i'm sorry i just hate doctors!!!! seems like they don't care anymore, they just want to pack you in like cows and see how many of us they can fit in one day.... but anyways. i told my husband not to leave unless you get more drugs off her for his ears or he goes for a hearing test cause there is something wrong with him, he's waking up in the middle of the night again crying and screaming,,, i was ready to take him to childrens' hospital myself... you can tell he's trying like hell to put words together but can't get them out.. i told the doctor this the last time and he just blew me off... Thank God i got Tina this time,,, i'm only going to see her from now on, i don't care if i have to use all my vacation days, those other doctors don't know there ass from a hole in the ground!!! pisses me off, how many times i had to take Micah up there.. they wanted me to take him up there friday so they could weigh him !!!! yea right i'm going to drive 35 min. so you can wiegh my child... should have done it when i was there thursday !!! see why i hate doctors!!!

Girl, you are really having a rough time.
Don't they put tubes in their ears anymore?
My oldest son had problems, he had tubes put in when he was 18 months old, then again when he was older. He had a hard time too, his teacher told me he was retarded in the fourth grade but it was due to hearing loss. After special classes he caught up.
Sure hope things start changing for the better real soon.

I asked that question to, or so they can just drain the fluid in his ears, they will NOT put tubes in his ears unless he has had 4-5 ear infections. PERIOD !!! or if he fails his hearing test... i have it scheduled for Friday, and they don't even want to do the hearing test because of the fluid in his ears!! i called the doctor back, and she said to schedule it and to forward her the results... so i'm doing what she tells me to do, i'm sick of fighting with these people, i just want my son to hear things right not like he just go out of a pool... and be able to say more than a dozen of words... i don't know maybe its to much to ask for... my next step is to run him to the emergency room and tell them my son can't hear period!!! and see how fast they move....

Do you have a ENT DR?

You are really in the middle of major stress Haley! I am very proud of you for keeping off of the cigarettes in the middle of this.

I know what you mean about the "doctor game." You will straighten it out, but it takes a lot of energy. My daughter is just figuring out how to deal with it up here.
In NYC, she could pick and choose doctors.

My grandson was tested and they said he has all kinds of perception problems, focus problems, and on and on. The school worked with him, and he is doing beautifully! He may have these problems, but he has probably learned to compensate. Or...he may not have all of the things they listed.

Keep in mind that children are amazingly resilient. Please give Micah a hug and kiss from me, and take a couple for yourself.
