you guys are worth your weight in gold!!! everyone here has been so wonderful to me and have given me amazing information. Thank you! i wasn't even aware that might even be a possibility for him to join along too.

Good for your parents! My parents are retired pediatricians and yes they can be extremely stubborn creatures. I hope this isn't too personal of a question and if it is don't feel obligated to answer, but did your parents learn ASL or do speech? My husband is a CODA so we are fully committed to...

That was so awesome! Thank you for sharing. I am so proud of her mother for not taking no as an answer!

Oh man you are awesome!!! thank you so much for sharing this with me. I agree with you about the excelling at somethings at not at others, while my girlfriends little girl can talk, she didn't walk until she was 14 months old. Maggie walked at 9 months, however I didn't brag about it to my...

Oh wow! I am not very good a fingerspelling at all, I am just not there speed wise. Your children are very bright! That is what upset me the most is that her signs are not viewed equal to speach to most people, but obviously not everyone!

Thank you! I think so too :) and tell your daughter we said thank you! That's the thing why is it not equal that even though she isn't speaking she is signing , I think that should count!

Thank you so much! I completely agree however I am bit biased!!! I admit I am a little sensitive but I just want her to be treated like everyone else, I don't feel like her deafness is anything to be looked down on so it bothers me that other people do but I guess I can't change how others react...

Thank you, I appreciate your support as mother. I just get mad that people are still rude, I mean we are too advanced as a society and human race to treat people differently over speech, or there lack off...or at least I think we should be that way

Thank you Beowulf, I sometimes am unsure of what is the polite way of saying she doesn't have a problem... your problem with her deafness is your problem not hers. My husband is a CODA so he's really good in situations like these. She has a BAHA hearing aid which she hates so we don't force it...

I enjoyed reading about your boss Robert . You write very eloquently. Would you be interested in a hearing parents prospective on raising a deaf child to write a post for your blog? What it's like to to learn ASL and embrace your child for who they are ? If not I totally won't be offended:)

So you must be the 2011 recipient?

Wow extremely impressive!

what did President Obama award you for?

Congratulations !!!! That is so exciting !!! I am going to guess blue, not that I can have any more children but if I could I would want a boy so BLUE!:razz:

Well I figured I could vent here because no one else in my family seemed to think it was a big deal so let me explain (back story..Maggie is 19 months old with Microtia and atresia on right side- no ear or ear canal and left side in normal shaped ear has moderate to severe loss) 1st story, a...

(so I posted that twice because I am not exactly sure if it shows up as your reply...I am not great with the whole chat room yet)Thank you for your support, Maggie's normal shaped ear has moderate to severe hearing loss and then no hearing on her microtia side , so that's why we are trying so...

Thank you for your support, Maggies normal shaped ear has moderate to severe hearing loss and then no hearing on her microtia side , so that's why we are trying so hard to give her every chance she can at language skills, at 19 months old she still isn't speaking and while i know that all kids...

According to the name sign book i could use a generalized sign for m and then a descriptive feature, ,would M and the sign for beautiful be acceptable?

sorry for bothering you again but do you think this would be appropriate for a toddler?
