Hi,

I am Ramona (Mona) and my daughter Melissa was born in Aug. 04 via EXIT Procedure in Bonn/Germany, so she is trached since birth. She is diagnosed with Fraser Syndrome, a rare disease. She is blind, cannot speak and also has BAHA`s (bone-anchored-hearing-aids - but not implanted) because of an auditory canal atresia. She has Syndactily on both hands and feet and a little Omphalocele.

We are looking for methods to make possible that she can learn speaking and other parents/children with fetal CHAOS or laryngeal atresia.

And - me too, like Nellie ; sorry about my English ;) I hope we will be understand :)

Now this is my little wonder:

Welcome Mona, I hope you find this group helpful. I love the 2nd video. Is Melissa sitting in the bath tub? Great idea for an instant ball pit!
Your English is very good.

Hi and welcome. We have found pictures and signs are the best way for Sam to communicate, though he dearly wants to talk, he can't manage the pmv for long. Looking forward to getting to know you.
