To make aware

The reason for this blog is to let people know what life is like with a deaf child, the hardships, as well as the achievements. I also have a hearing child and how it will impact him.

The almost moment of truth

There is a pic on the link that i shared, where Wyatt is sitting in a wagon. On that day, his audiologist came over and was going to test the electrodes to see what was responding and what wasn't. The Dr told us that he has a 60/40 chance. She told us that while shes testing, it will sound like a lot of clicking. Well she turned on her part and Wyatt started looking over his shoulder, on the right side. I started crying. It was a sign that the placement was good. She did tell us that even though hes responding to that noise, it when we have the official hookup that will tell us for sure.

We left the hospital a few days later, with an appointment set up for a month for the hookup.  Well a few days or a week later, we found out we were pregenant with austin.  The day of the hook up came and I had my mom, and Francie with me. The audiologist told us that when its turned on, they do 1 of 3 things:
1)Cry
2)Scream,
3) Or nothing.

Can you guess what wyatt did? He screamed and cried. And so did momma., and nana, and GG. It took us a few more minuets to try to get a level where he felt ok. On the ride home it was all talking and saying his name. When we got home, papa and Aunt Kelly were there, and the first thing he did was jump up and down, and pointed to his ear, with a surprise look on his face. LOL that was the highlight for a few days.
