So far, they haven't gotten the response from his good ear that they were hoping for, but we have an appointment at the Lions clinic at the U of M. Hopefully we can quickly get it up to where it should be, since he probably doesn't have any hearing on the other side. <br />I'm still waiting on the information on the glasses, seeing if our local eye place can accomodate him or else we'll go to Minneapolis for that too.<br />So far, I'm just going where I have the referrals...but after the first, initial rounds, perhaps I can be a little more choosy and I'll be sure to ask for some good tips on the doctors :) Thanks so much for your advice!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665816593780393953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736906635379757139.post-45105196516963249772010-06-16T05:23:23.402-07:002010-06-16T05:23:23.402-07:00Oh the poor lil muffin, that stinks that he has to...Oh the poor lil muffin, that stinks that he has to go to so many appointments and that they scare him. Hopefully though getting them all out of the way now will help him with speech and you guys can begin to communicate soon.Kishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946778772142346821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736906635379757139.post-28858681443033512842010-06-16T03:24:19.323-07:002010-06-16T03:24:19.323-07:00No fun.

I don't think Nadia's hearing is very good right now and I'm hoping it's just a fluid issue resolved with tubes. I'm already looking up Josi's ENT's phone number to have it ready when we get home. Tomorrow may be our last day in Zap--we hope!!!<br /><br />Praying you'll get throught these dr. appts. quickly and with some good answers and resolutions to Toma's issues!Kristin Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420096126951493195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736906635379757139.post-73199996337987413702010-06-15T23:11:08.270-07:002010-06-15T23:11:08.270-07:00Oh, by the way, you need to get Miralex glasses.

I can somewhat relate to all of those specialty appointments, but you are cramming them in all together, becasue you have to, and how hard is that!?!? You will get a break. Just remember you are doing what is best for Artoma.<br /><br />Blessings to you. <br /><br />Did you like that crowd at TGIF's?? Wow!!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09853902524761986719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736906635379757139.post-9785407488387296052010-06-15T22:16:04.041-07:002010-06-15T22:16:04.041-07:00I don't know if I introduced myself.

I also have a daughter with Down syndrome and spent many years living in all of the specialist's office you're now dealing with. If you need any help getting around LET ME KNOW!!! I can sure help you! I can also recommend who's good in the area, and who tends to get parents ticked off! I'm also a sign language interpreter, and worked for a long time with kids who were hearing but had minimal language skills and needed some form of manual communication system. And...taking care of hearing aids. (my daughter wears aids as well.) Has anyone mentioned getting a bone conduction aid for Toma? I'm assuming since he has no canal he's lacking some hearing on that side! As far as glasses, there is a type of glasses that have a tiny magnet that is implanted just under the skin so the glasses stick to the magnet, similar to the way a cochlear implant sticks on the head.Leah Springhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326240393099112570noreply@blogger.com
