New Orleans bound...

We are now here at the Brent House Hotel. Sophie's surgery is for 8:00 am tomorrow morning. My mom and my neice, KK, came with Sophie and I. Mike was unable to get off of work due to all the work he missed because of the hurricane. Here are a few pics of Sophie on the way over in the car and in the hotel room. We ate at Picadilly for dinner tonight. YUMMO!!! We have just been playing around in the hotel room and laughing at Sophie do funny tricks:)

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.
