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.

Names and the phone...

Michael is talking much more these days and he is even saying peoples names! Kinda funny though he started saying the animals names before he said anyone else's names...

Lucy (onrys dog)
Meeshi (our cat)
D.D. (for lil danny)
Ma D (for uncle D)
Ali
Sissy
Beeben (Stephen)
Anna (Hannah)
Annie (Anthony)
Beth (his speech therapist)]

the only time he really says anyones name is when he is yelling at them though or telling them to stop lol!

He likes to talk on the phone, he puts it on speaker and then just stares at the phone when he calls someone and they are talking to him. He will say hi and bye and then wave to the phone, it is one of his favorite things to do...
