I made the appointment today to talk to the doctor about the CT scans that were ran last Wed. So that we can talk to him about weather or not John can get an implant. I'll find out more on Aug. 12th when we go.

Hey thanks for the advice, from everyone. My husband and I have been talking about it alot lately and I think we are going to get the implant if we can.

About 6 months to a year ago I read something about a glove that someone was making that as a person signed it would say what was being sign. Has anyone heard about this or know anything about it? I know that it was going to be about $200 when it hit the market, and then I never heard anything...

Right now we think that it's just from being a premiee, we got some test (CT scan) ran yesterday so now it's just a matter of waiting until we talk to the doctor. After we find out more about that then we'll know what we're looking at and what to do.

Right now John's about at the development of a 6 month old. He can't sit or stand on his own. He doesn't crawl either. He's working rally hard on things lately and his theropist are really pleased, so am I. Sometimes I can sit him down and he'll stay there for awhile, but ususally falls...

My son's doctor is really trying to get us to look into cochlear implants for my son. I've done some reading on them, but not really sure what to do. I think the idea of the implants is good, but then again i know that some people are against them. I kind of feel like a parent that wants to...
