I was shocked to discover that hearing loss/deafness is the highest birth "defect" (yes, that is how it was presented to me) in the WORLD. @deafDyke - forgive me I don't know your name (sorry) But I think you're right. Imagine...perception is key. I think that if we could change the...

When I was in high school I read the orginal version of the Little Mermaid...I was like...DAMN! The watered down version is more fun...but the orginal was terrifying. Then again I suppose Disney can't have the main character going nuts and killing her entire family and stealing souls...but...

I just requested a meeting with Conner's teacher and other admins at FSDB to make sure he is included in an extended school year. :D

For a new parent? Possibly with a stiff drink! :beer: But seriously? I don't think their is a "good" way to give that news. I remember when the nurse came in and told me about Conner...On the level, that lady almost got jacked. I remember my husband holding me back b/c I wanted to knock the...

I know often in these types of stories it makes magic almost like a drug. I'm recalling when Regina used magic for the first time to trap Cora in the mirror...she relished the answer she gave Rumple when he asked "how did it feel" She smiled like the cat who ate the canary and said "Good" I...

I honestly think that its a process. Parents of deaf children...are scared. Why? B/c for the most part ...the first deaf person a parent meets...is their own child. The doctors don't help either. Think about it, the first thing the doctor says is..."I'm sorry...you child(ren) has FAILED their...

They can't offer to extend his school year, yet. But I'm pretty sure they will offer. But I want to have him be able to get more access to the deaf community...so looking into summer camp.

Though I am by no means "sold" on sending Conner to FSDB's boarding program. I am strongely considering sending him to the summer camp options there, this way he'll have some social interaction with the deaf communitiy over the summer.

What a cutie-pie!!!!

It sounds to me that this chick needs some serious help. I mean, jeez! Like she needs to see a professional therepist. She has some MAJOR attention issues.

@DVroman7 - Sweetie, First of all let me say. I am SO sorry. Not because your baby is deaf, but because I understand the fear...the (sometimes) helpless tears when you think about your child's future and it is unclear. Having said that, I am a mother of a BEAUTIFUL 5 year old boy who was born...

OH, and last night...only furthered my opinion that Sleeping Beauty needs her butt kicked!!!

It seems like this season they are giving Reginia a soul...or maybe just something darker to compare her to. I think they were kinda doing that last season by comparing her to Mr. Gold...but...when we learned the back story of both Regina and Gold....I think parts of us softened. But CORA...now...

I don't know if it has CC but before I had AMC I watched my shows on www.1channel.ch FURTHER- I thought it was stupid that Hershel got bit! I was like..wait a sec...I don't remember that from the G novel! I think it was Dale who had to have his left cut off in the comic. I like how they...

No i am not a member of that..yet :) Yes, if me and my husband have anything to say about it he will stay at FSDB. We live in Jacksonville so it isn't too far, and he comes home every night. My hubby and I haven't decided if we are going to consider him boarding at the school yet. For me...

Conner is in his 1st FULL year of preschool at FSDB. He did part of the school year last year, but the hubby and I decided that Conner would really benefit from another year in preK. Conner TRIES to be oral (though in truth...I think my husband and I are losing hearing at his current attempts)...

His teachers are saying that he is picking up ASL quickly. The main problem they are having is that my poor boy is part squirrel and gets distracted easily...I don't know where he gets that fr......OOOHhh LOOK SOMETHING SHINY!!!

Tonight, Conner and Daddy are watching Finding Nemo and out of nowhere Conner just started signing FISH. And then Blue Fish...and then Orange fish. THAT's MY BOY!:D

I remember being a kid in school...and hating my life. I was bullied until the day I graduated. I went to a very small school in Eastern, PA (Catasauqua) and everyone in my school was very German. I am Puerto Rican and Spanish, so naturally I am darker...I remember being told it was b/c my blood...
