Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 , Our newspaper is so small, there aren't any links for any of the news articles, as far as I know. I'll ask them, though. And, if there is, I'll copy and paste the story for you. If not, I can always type it out, I can type at a pretty fair pace . Take care, Cin ----- Original Message ----- From: That is great news, Cin! Will you please forward your story to us here (not the link). Thanks.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 , I'll update everyone, and I hope the reporter is able to do a good story on cochlear implants, and how they can change a person's life. I'm hoping that other people will be motivated to look into getting one, as well. If they only knew... After I was activated, I was kicking myself in the behind for not going for it years earlier! LOL. Take care, Cin Re: Family Interview Super! That's great! (Ya can't see me, but I'm clapping like crazy here!) Every time a story is written, it helps to raise awareness. It helps ALL of us!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Congrats! I know what it's like to do this and it's very rewarding. When it's available, please send it to me so that I can add it to the website. Alice http://www..com > > WooHoo, I am soooooooooo excited; my family may be media stars <GREAT BIG HUGE GRINS>. Well, at least in our small town, that is <SIGHS>. A couple of weeks ago, I contacted our local newspaper, after seeing a notice that they are looking for stories to write. It said " Telling the story of our lives " or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Cin, GREAT deal. Do you need a press agent to handle all the publicity? Actually anything that gets the message out about implants is a good thing. When you consider how many people can benefit from them, and don't even know they exist. Expect to see you on a realtity TV show any time. And I'll tell all that I knew you and Silly before you became stars.

Well, at least in our small town, that is <SIGHS>. A couple of weeks ago, I contacted our local newspaper, after seeing a notice that they are looking for stories to write. It said " Telling the story of our lives " or something like that. So, I emailed the Editor-In-Chief, and he emailed me right back, and said he was forwarding my email to one of the reporters to do a story on us. In the email, I told about our family and our hearing loss, and about getting cochlear implants! Sooooo, tonight, I had an email from the reporter, and she wants to set up a time for an interview!!! So, we're going to be in print!!! Well, not that I care about me being in print, but I'm just so excited about being able to tell about cochlear implants in our small town. Our newspaper office has other offices in a few other towns in the area, as well, so I'm hoping they will print this in all of the papers they are in charge of. That would be so cool to be able to spread the word across Michigan about the miracle of cochlear implants! I don't know when the interview will be just yet, but the reporter wanted to set up a time for us to meet. Now I'm on pins and needles, waiting for her to get back with me, as I told her our family's shedule is pretty well open. OK, enough babbling, can you tell I'm just a little excited about this? LOL.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hi, , Gee, I don't know what all the fuss is about. You and your family are already media stars in our books here at ! Maybe the bits of your sibling rivalries will remind parents to sepatate the kids, though! <giggling> Good luck and congratulations. It's wonderful that you guys are so willing to share to get the word of hope out to those who may be facing hearing loss beyond hearing aid redemption. ) Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
