On 5th May 2010 - We when for her scheduled check up at KK Nilai. The people there said Iman was obese. Her weight still at 16Kg (in the red zone of weight' graph). So, they scheduled her to see the Dr on 11th May 2010. When we went on 11th May 2010, we were rescheduled to 18th May 2010 because the Dr was not in ! What a day, we wished they had called us about that and save our time and energy. Unfortunately no call was made.
On 10th may 2010 - We went for Iman' scheduled speech therapy at Serdang Hospital. We were supposed to go in at 11 am but there was a problem with the number given to us at the registration counter and we were delayed and managed to go in about an hour later. We met the speech therapist/lady (I forgot to see her name tag !) but no therapy was done for this first session because it was intended for recording Iman's background/history by interviewing us/parents. Iman was let to roam around the room and played with the toys there while we talked. Once in awhile Iman came and tried to take papers and mouse pad from the lady. The lady also referred Iman for Occupational Therapy (OT). From her first impression of Iman, she didn't think Iman was autistic. I was so glad to hear that, of course, but we didn't tell her that Iman's behavior now was (in a way/we thought so) better after taking homeopathy medicine. She told us an autistic child would act differently (aren't we glad to hear that !). We were given some advice how to stimulate Iman speech; reduce TV watching (we already knew that), recording words spoken by Iman and few other things suggested to us. The next visit were scheduled for 27th July 2010. She claimed that there were only two of them there so their time were tight and that's why they can't see patient more often... hhhmmm typical explaination. We were just following their schedule... no point in arguing, it was expected to be that way anyway. But she claimed that at OT the visits might be more often because they have more people there to attend to patients. Well, just wait and see. Iman's OT visit was scheduled on 19th May 2010. We didn't think anything would happened that day, as usual they must want to take in data for the first visit. To summarize, nothing gain in term of Iman's speech improvement from the visit to Serdang Hospital till now, kind of frustrating....
We ourselves were puzzled of Iman's behavior sometimes, most of the time we were just thought of her as a hyperactive child and that's why she is a late talker.
