We just had a hearing test that sounds very similar to what you described: she seems to be able to hear really well when she's motivated, but in the audiology room--not so motivated. We're following up with an ENT.<br /><br />What you say about "raising any child is hard": I think one of the things we need is for the world to change so that as parents of kids with Down syndrome, we're allowed to complain without people saying, "See, that's why those kids shouldn't exist." My friends with typical kids are allowed to complain, and nobody says, "Yeah, those typical kids--they are a burden. If only there were a prenatal test for them!"<br /><br />Finally, love the description of the troll as someone who needs to get laid. Perhaps that can be our activism campaign: More great sex for everybody! Let's cheer up the planet!Alison Piepmeierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972854288403934814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364575095827041469.post-48501340150331940732011-07-22T14:38:04.546-05:002011-07-22T14:38:04.546-05:00Sometimes people suck.
