"this place has potentially dangerous downsides. It is truly, totally addicting! Hanging around in chat rooms has the potential to interfere with ... can potentially lead to the neglect of spouses, partners, children, pets, homes and work." However, I also believe that it is equally important to realize the origins, the roots for love addicitons. After having realized her or his issues with love addiction, working with a counselor is often the best way to discover early childhood sexual traumata or a failed relationship. My web-page is meant to give some summarized info on that topic. http://www.facingloveaddiction.com <a href="http://www.facingloveaddiction.com" rel="nofollow">love and addiction - facing love addiction</a> I agree with LaRonda … “this place has potentially dangerous downsides.

Thanks for your comment. It's important for you to seek out early intervention with your son's language development. These are crucial years for that and any delays will make an impact on his development. I encourage you to seek out the support of language specialists who encourage the use of sign language along with any speech or auditory training. Signing will make all the difference for your son's connection to the world whether or not you pursue further auditory support. Medical professionals will most likely encourage hearing aids or cochlear implants, but not many think about the language development aspect that can be richly enhanced through sign language. Auditory training may assist with sounds, but signs assist with language. Please consider learning signs with your child. There are huge advantages and benefits. Best. ~ L Hi Megan.

We just now started to notice that his hearing is severely diminished and his speech development is deteriorating. We're awaiting his official hearing screening so his level of hearing loss is not yet known. This website is the first connection I've found between hearing loss and TSS, his doctors never mentioned it. TSSs left him on life support for almost three weeks. We prayed for him to live to the next day so if hearing loss is the price he paid for his life, it wasn't a bad deal. I hope he will someday agree that deaf is better than death, any day.

There are a lot of strong Christian themes in the movie - but oh wow oh wow did it touch my heart. Here's a link about the story... http://www.hearingeverett.com/ Good luck with your deaf retreat ... it sounds like a beautiful dream! :) From your Item #7, I recently watched the most amazing, beautiful movie about the story surrounding Rancho del Mundo - which is a school for the deaf in Mexico.
