Michael was born on July 23rd, 2008 with profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Micheal wore hearing aids from the time he was 4 months old until the day of surgery. We decided that we didn't want anything to hold Mikey back from living as close to a normal life as possible even having a hearing loss so we moved forward with cochlear implants. I have created this page for friends and family to follow Mikey's progress and for parents that may be in the same situation we were with making this desicion. I found it very helpful to look at other parents blogs/pages for their children when we were making one of the hardest choices of our lives. Thanks for reading.

Mikey put his first 2 words together....

aww... Mikey said "bye bye daddy". So, to add to Mikey's list of words we now have "daddy" "mine" and "uh ohhh" (he says it right now it was "uhh uhh") He is really trying to say "more" when he wants a drink but he still needs some work lol!  Still cant believe he is really talking!!! :)

    I love to read posts like this! Only we can truly appreciate those words that are taken for granted by so many!
    Good luck and keep up the good work!

    The vocabulary will grow slowly but steady over time.
