We just notice that she gradually have had trouble uttering words. But she's very good in replicating sounds [snore, sneeze, and some funny noises with her mouth]. She also tried to imitate my whistle though it is still a work in progress.
We have already asked her neurologist few months ago about what could be the cause. Few tests were made. Based on her EEG, there are still some siezure spike on her brain. Especially on the left side where language and speech are subserved by the brain. Her meds were increased to the maximum. Her doctor said she's doing great [having Depakote, Keppra 500 & 250] in such dose. We just have to be wary of symptoms like nose bleeding and the like. As of this writing, Thanks God!, no signs of that.
While waiting for some improvements, I made some inquiries [emails and phone calls] from some speech therapy centers. I never thought it was this hard to find one. Most center do not have avaiable slots so we're still on the waiting list. We're still in search for a speech therapist.
For the mean time, we're trying to motivate her to utter sounds, do some facial massage and stimulate her senses. Well, its still best to have someone who specialized on this.
In God's time, we'll find one! Aja! :)
"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence.... We need silence to be able to touch souls."~Mother Teresa
