WE FINALLY HAVE POWER & SOPHIE'S SURGERY GOT MOVED UP!!!

OK, we are back in action. Although we don't have power at our house, my parents got theirs back last night and cable and internet just now (7:43 pm, Thursday). It actually wasn't that bad. The humidity is what made us so sticky and hot!!! But thank you Jesus for letting us make it through it without going crazy. The heat does make your temper rise a bit! The screaming children who are running around with diapers and underwear on because it is too sweltering to put clothes on doesn't make the temperature feel any cooler either. Gosh, I am glad it is over...Although my parents will have to put up with us until our power comes back on...they say 1-2 weeks. YIKES!! Sophie's CI surgery was scheduled for next Thursday the 11th in New Orleans, but they called today to move it up to Tuesday the 9th due to a cancellation. YEAH!!!! I know it is only 2 days but that means we are 2 days closer to our baby girl hearing!!! I just hope we can now schedule a hotel room for that night...

I will be thinking of Sophie that day. Bring lots of light reading material and load up your iPod with your favorite tunes. It is a LONG morning- but the little ones bounce back so quickly.; September 5, 2008 at 8:41 AM

EARSTWOHEAR

I could not imagine what it would be like not to hear. But two of my children have woken up each day of theirlife with little to no sound. My goal is to teach my children and others the knowledge and skills I have learned since finding out their hearing loss. First and for most, the terms hard of hearing and deaf should not be frightening. Although this is the initial reaction, just know that there is soooo much information and tools out there for parents and loved ones to get their hands on; not only through professionals but also through the internet. Secondly, there is a lot of hard work involved BUT in making sure your children are equiped for the rest of their life it is worth it. Their hearing loss is apart of our daily lives and will be forever. But at the end of each day it is nice to sit back and see how wonderful they are blossoming due to the lengths we have gone for them.
