If you're concerned with him being dehydrated anything you can get into him will help. (except for maybe pop, it's actually a diuretic (sp?) and milk can upset little stomachs if they are sick) But juice, gatorade, pedialyte -types, all will help with that. Or if he's eating anything, a little...

I apologize, over the years I've been a memeber on multiple boards, and have seen where members don't visit every board. I just wanted to make sure that if someone out there can help me, that they saw this post. But I will keep this in mind for the future.

I posted this on the ADA board, but thought it applies here too. My daughter isn't going to be 3 for several months, but here in Colorado both private and public preschools fill up fast. (they aren't a requirement, so there are only a handful of public ones) But her services coordinater (the...

My daughter isn't going to be 3 for several months, but here in Colorado both private and public preschools fill up fast. (they aren't a requirement, so there are only a handful of public ones) But her services coordinater (the one who helps me find all the services that she can benift from...

:jaw: :jaw: :jaw: :jaw: NINE children in a ONE bedroom apartment????? My three drive me nuts in a three bedroom apt. Hopefully they can move to a place with at least one more bathroom before all those girls get older :D

My oldest two are great examples!! Couple years back both got bad colds, their doc recommeded an over-the-counter cold medicine that had an antihistamine in it. They literally bounced off walls!! Try keeping up with overly hyperactive 1 and 2 yr olds when you're 6mos pregnant. Oddly enough...

Speaking of children sleeping in their parents bed and all.. When I first became a single parent my kids used to crawl into bed with me in the middle of the night. They weren't allowed to go to sleep there (for personal parenting reasons as well as I need to be able to go in and out of my room...

She did, but she had absolutely no benefit from them. Her hearing tests were exactly the same when she was tested both aided and unaided. To put it in perspective - an airplane could fly 3 ft over her head, and she wouldn't be able to hear a thing! Even though it's been only a month, she's...

Boult, I have to say, from the posts I've seen from you - I like you! You bring a humor to your posts, and get your points across without attacking people personally. Reasons I did pros only, is 1) I figured ya'll would end up giving me both sides anyway. And 2) since my daughter has a CI...

She had her surgery on May 9th when she was just over 2yrs old, and was activated a month later on June 9th.

DoofusMama - I didn't mean to say you were married or not, it ws just where my train of thought led me. I had also intended to say that I hate when my sisters (none of them have kids) try to tell me how to parent too. But I got called away from the computer before I typed it and forgot by the...

Thank you! I can think that in my head all I want, but it's still nice to hear from someone else occasionally :)

DoofusMama - I was even offened by your post. I'm a single mom of 3 children. I get tired of getting parenting adivce from married parents (or someone with a partner). It's completely different when you're single. You are trying to do the work of two parents on your own. There are going to be...

Well I was so intrigued by the different responses I got to my question agout oralism, so now I'm curious, what are the pros - or positive sides - to signing only? And just so ya'll know, I'm not asking in order to make a desicion for my daughter, but because I'm just really curious.

I've seen a few times on these boards where people have thought that by choosing a CI for our child that we are taking the easy way out. So I wanted to know, are your lives easier since your child has gotten a CI? I know mine isn't. My life would be much simpler if I hadn't chosen this...

I've wondered this since I started looking into CI for my daughter! From middle school through high school I was around the deaf community in our area alot. Most of my friends had parents that were deaf/hh. And when I found out that my daughter was deaf, I did NOT want her to get a CI even if...

Just so you know, if it actually is a sensory thing that's keep him "wired" and active enough to think up reasons, then it needs to be a sensory related calming thing. Reading books relaxs my girls. At least until the story is done, and then they are back to being little energizer bunnies...

Ummm... maybe I should clarify my interest in this subject. My daughter knows sign, and will learn more. But she received her CI in May of this year, so she's learning speech too, even before that though she had picked up on lipreading because I'm in the habit of signing and...

1.) How long have you been in labor for with your child (ren) The time you arrive at the hospital, the time you had your first contractions, if you remember it. :giggle: With my first child (my son Taro) we got to the hospital around 9am-ish, I had to be given pitocen (sp) to get my...

I'm not sure if it's quite the same thing or not. Both my daughters (1hearing, 1 deaf) have issues with bedtime. My son was always a piece of cake and so I was completely unprepared for my girls. They can't seem to lay down and relax. They have to pop in and out of bed like jack-in-the-boxes. I...
