From the time C was 18 months, I knew something was up. Not a cuddler, not a lover. Not a talker....either. No doctor believed me. You are just too worried as a new parent. By 2 years old C had fevers that would last a week at a time at 104. Our vacation to New Hampshire was a disaster, but it got us one thing.....an idea. That quaint little doctor's office in New Hampshire said there is an infection that we just can't see. Maybe an ENT? At 2 1/2 C had her first tube surgery with a side adnoidectomy. Wonderful Christmas present wasn't it? Sure everyone thought she would start talking immediately. Still didn't happen. Those words, those elusive words. Started with a speech therapist with the hope more would happen.
You hold onto hope for a few words when other mom's wished their kids would be quiet for one minute between the time they wake up to the time they go to bed. Still she was happy.
