From Silence to Song

When a parent learns that their baby or young child has a hearing loss, they are often left feeling alone and unsure what to do. We've been there and done that with one Deaf child already, and we've just started the journey again with our newborn son. In addition, we learned our baby also has NEHI, a rare form of childhood lung disease. We hope that sharing our experiences will help inspire and encourage other parents of children with hearing loss or who may also have NEHI.

Little Guy's Blessing Day

Little Guy was blessed on Sunday. It was a chaotic day for me, but I'm so glad I stuck to my guns and had it done. The night before, the Beast was up from 1am until about 5:30. The dog woke up, Number One woke up, Snort woke up. Everyone decided that Saturday night was a great night to become nocturnal. So, I was very tired and adequately grumpy.

The King had a meeting that morning, so it fell on my shoulders to get all five kids up, fed, bathed, dressed, and out the door in time for church. I did it!!! And it felt great!!!

I debated not having him wear his hearing aids for his blessing. But, in the end, my heart told me he needed them. It was a little hard to swallow my pride, and have him wear them, but I'm glad I did. Just look at how beautiful he is!!!
