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 First Swim
Little Guy has certainly been through a lot this summer. Our church was having its annual pool party at the local pool, so we decided to take him off his oxygen for just a few minutes and let him have some fun. He really seemed to enjoy it. I don't know if it was the water or all the people or just having his Daddy all to himself, but something sure was fun to him. He was very tired after about twenty minutes of swimming, so Grandma Kelly made sure he got plenty of love and snuggles while he slept. As his mom, it was nice to have him do something that "normal" or "typical" kids his age do. No hearing aids for a while, no oxygen for a little while. Just fun.

Oh, such a sweetheart. It is nice that he was able to shed his gear for some splash time!
