She doesn't talk, just sort of grunts the same sound over and over. She's pretty happy for the most part, but just sits there or lays down on the ground and goes to sleep.
She is very raspy and has a deep cough. There is a lot of mucus and drs. say maybe she pools her saliva rather than swallowing it, (she doesn't drool though). She will often tip her head all the way back to look at things, maybe because of her eyes i am not sure.
The only real Health problem parents have informed me about is her hemangiomas which she is on medication for, and is slowly being weined off.
She drinks soy milk only because her mom finds regular milk to cause her to become too mucusy.
Does any of this sound the same as your little one????
This sounds different, and worse that the OPs description. If I were this child's parents, I would throw such a fit that my pediatrician would happily give me a referral to a specialist. I'd want one (a doctor) at a children's hospital.
How does she eat? Does she seem to see toys and objects well? HAs he hearing ever been tested?
