My mom's a speech pathologist! And yes, there's lots of programs! And if he's little, he'll catch up quick.
Sara, you gotta go check xkcd's new strip RIGHT NOW.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

T's 2.5, so plenty of time. Just parents not wanting to see their kids hurt.
t really asleep in my bed now, not cleaning up kleenex shreds and online Aw, that made me teary. When I was last as JPL, a photo lori took was of me and the earthbound-stuck rover. I'd hoped they'd break'er free

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH: I don't know if you've seen the thing--there's a video on YouTube where some people got together in Penn Station or somewhere and started dancing.
Me: Flash mobs?
DH: No, they're dancing.
Me: It's called Flash Mobbing--I can show you more videos
DH: So you've heard of it then?
sarameg, I'm sorry she's so upset. Perhaps once they get the ear infections cleared up, his hearing will return. My cousin had that problem but he grew up (with speech therapy) and had no lasting problems with his hearing.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
this 911 calltaker says yes, call on that as long as it isn't more than 5 minutes cold (cars can go far in 5 minutes.) When in doubt, make the call. If it's frivolous, we'll just blow you off and taunt you across the room. taking a sec to jot down plates would have been awesome. plates are very very useful. people driving stolen cars have a strong tendency to drive away from accidents without exchanging info as is proper.

I've been at my current job for almost exactly 15 years. I'll make it up to 15-and-a-half altogether, because I was fired over the Christmas holidays, but thanks to our nice European employee-friendly regulations I have six months notice to find something new.

Oh, Fiona, that sucks!! I hope that'll be enough time to find something great?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That does suck, Fiona!
Dear body,
2:30 wake up time? Seriously?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Youngest nephew has lost all hearing on the right side, on antiBs and next visit to an ent if it doesn't clear up. Likely cause of his delayed speech (he's had bad colds forever.) SIL very upset.
I'm sorry. If he can retain hearing in his left ear, he should be fine. The same thing happened to me when I was around three. I'm as verbal as anything when I want to be now. I've led English classes, given oral presentations, banter now and then. It's all good.

Poor kid! But yeah, they are quick to adapt and there should be plenty of help for him.

Aw, Fiona I'm sorry. I hope something great comes along.
