一对父母原以为他们的儿子言语迟缓是先天疾病导致的,结果因为一次偶然被一名医生发现是舌头打结导致的。这名医生通过做手术使得孩子可以正常说话,整个家庭都非常感激这名医生。除此之外,这名医生还希望所有的孩子在出生时都能得到强制性的检查,查看是否有这种情况存在。
The Motz family of Katy, Texas, says their lives changed after a visit to the dentist's office. Mason Motz, 6, was at Dr Amy Luedemann-Lazar's office to get teeth pulled when the pediatric dentist(儿科口腔医师) noticed a different issue. Mason had suffered from speech delays his whole life. He was born with Sotos Syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects growth and development. The family thought his speech delays were due to the disorder, but it turns out that he was tongue-tied. The condition caused limited range of motion with his mouth.“He wasn't able to enunciate(清楚地念) a word, so instead of saying,‘Daddy,' or,‘Dad,' he would say,‘da...,'” said Mason's dad, Dalan Motz.
