Scared about tomorrow.
I keep telling myself I'm being paranoid, but it's not helping.
My boys will be 17mos old tomorrow: subtract 9 weeks for their prematurity and they're still 15mos. But they're not talking: at all. And I can't tell how much they understand either. They scream, grunt and babble in full sentences, but no words. Back in June, when they were at a neo-natal follow-up, the pediatrician pegged them at 14mos (their actual age) for their motor skills, 12mos (their corrected age) as far as social skills and problem-solving went, and at about 10mos for communication skills. At the time, he emphasized the "do not worry" approach, saying that we should get on the waiting list for a speech pathology assessment, but the problem would "...almost certainly..." clear itself up. So tomorrow they go for hearing tests, and next month we're likely to get a call from the speech pathologist for an appointment. And I haven't noticed any change in their comunication since June. I want to know what's going on, but I don't want to know there is something wrong with my babies. Does that make sense? Marie Chris and Alex--born 04/23/03 at 31wks gestational :-) |
