Vinson's hearing test is in Oct'2001 cos there are wax in both his ears and it's seem like the method they are using is different. The audiologist will put something like a earphone near his ear to tr ...

I think some countries do not provide free therapies. I paid for mine too. Likewise, I still need to pay when my son get admitted to the school. Guess there's no free lunch.

Thanks Kelly.

Well, I had to agree. The first doc that I went to charge high fees (S$120 for a vaccine-abt US$65). He actually told me that he will refer my son to a special school after his third mth assessment. I ...

4) What are the effects?

Jef, I think you need some fresh air and space. You have been given too much, way out of your control. My son will be taking his echo gram next month and who knows what is waiting for us.

My husband is like you but he choose to put on a brave front. When our son is asleep, he told me that he actually pity our son. I know he is sad because our boy has DS but think again, if he has a cho ...
