Speech delay with AA
My 6 year old Emily was diagnosed in October, 2007 with VSAA. For the very young age patient, we were told by her doctors that BMT is always the first choice if there is a matched Bone Marrow from the siblings. Emily went through BMT on 11/20/2007. She also has some kind of delayed speech which had been taken care of by the speech therapy in her school. Right after her BMT, she started to stutter that was new to her. We do not know what causes her stuttering (Medications or long time restrict isolation?). Her communication and social skills have gotten worse. We will start the private speech therapy for her during the summer. You can send me private message or e-mail if you would like to know more.
