    FOREVER I PROMISE: Chapter 50

     

    Bette looked down to comfort Jordan, but he wasnt crying.  The noise hadnt seemed to have scared him at all.  Tina looked over at the concerned look on Bettes face.  Then she noticed Jordan wasnt crying at all while Josh and Amy Jo were both wailing loud enough to burst your eardrums.  Tina watched as Bette stood and headed into the house.  Tina handed Amy Jo who was calming down now to Kit and followed Bette.

     

    Bette sat Jordan down on the family room floor and walked behind him.  Bette called out his name.  Jordan!  Jordan!  Each time a little bit louder.  Bette finally clapped as loud as she could.  Jordan didnt flinch or ever turn his head.  Bette knelt down and grabbed her son up into her arms and cried.  Tina standing in the door way having witnessed her sons inability to hear was also crying.  Tina walked over and sat down beside them and wrapped her arms around Bette holding them both. 

     

    Bette:  I want to call Dr. Cole first thing Monday morning Tina. 

     

    Tina:  Ok baby.  Dont worry.  I’m sure everything will be ok.  We can handle this Bette. 

     

    Bette:  Right it could just be an ear ache or clogged up.  Thats why..  Thats why he cant hear.  Once she fixes it, ***** be just fine.  

     

    The party no doubt ended shortly afterwards.  Neither were in the mood to party now.  They tried, but it showed on their faces that something was wrong.  Everyone notice that Jordan didnt cry.  But, it wasnt until Tina told them while Bette remained inside with their son that the others realized  the depth of their pain.

     

    Doctors office Monday.

     

    Dr Cole:  Bette, Tina, it is obvious that Amy Jo is demonstrating more advanced language as compared to her brother. In most situations, twins develop language skills very similarly, because they are together most of the time and usually have the same caregivers. Huge discrepancies between twin skills may indicate a problem.  

     

    There can be many reasons for a speech and language delay, including prematurity.  Since Jordan was so much smaller and underdeveloped at birth this may be the explanation.. Has he talked much like Amy Jo?  Or mostly points and grunts?

    2. Oh my dear Tk, I didn’t see that one coming. Must have a head cold or something, heh. I know Sign Language though. It’s a good skill to have. More woo!

    3. OCD…please let this be an easy fix. That is more trauna than one couple should have to endure, after everything you have brought them through.

    4. First, I would just like to thank you for showing a different side of life. Second, I’m been reading this story all along & I’ve been enjoying it immensely – I’m just not one who commits until something touches a part of me & now you have. I’m an identical twin of triplets — who just so happens to have been born with a hearing disability/loss. I’ve lived through hearing test, speech classes, hearing aids & lip reading. Family and friends are a very important part of making a child/adult feel secure & loved while living with this (or any) disability. THANK YOU AGAIN!
