This is my daughter, Olivia. Olivia was always a demanding baby -- crying a lot. She had reflux and feeding problems from birth. She is developmentally behind, but her speech is advanced -- saying a lot of phrases that you would not hear a four-year-old say. She is the parrot in our house -- repeating everything. Olivia has a fantastic memory for names and past places. She adores all adults and can be very loving. She loves music, but does not like a lot of sounds. She does not sleep a lot, for which she has melatonin. She has severe constipation, for which she has meds. Olivia has a very poor squint which will require surgery in the near future. She has had two operations on her ears. Olivia has just started school and she is well loved. As a mother, she is hard work, but she is my unique child. She lights my life up. She's always happy, with a cheeky smile. If anyone would like to contact us, please send an e-mail to sarah.thornton13@ntlworld.com. |
