hello my son turned 2 in september, he says mama and dada, and thats it, he points, makes noises, and all that, im concerned when he was an infant they did a genetics test on him, they said he had a hole cromozone missing it was called number 22q cromozone syndrome. I hope to God, I will hear him say mom I love you. I hope he is just slow to his speach. He was slow to everything else, I do not know what I would do but just love him. It worries me so much, I hope he can hear. They are going to do some testing on him with his speech thru parents as teachers, and possibly set it all up.
I just hope that he turns out to be as normal as possible, BUT GOD give me strength to handle and accept everything, I love him. I Just do not know what to do.. I am searching as you are. VERY CONCERNED AND LOVING PARENT.
