Encouragment and Confidence

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

I occassionaly post and constantly lurk on this bulletin board.

After reading a few comments on surgeries and other difficulties our

children face I felt the need to comment.

My daughter has been through 4 implant surgeries.

1 failure, 1 implant, 1 explant, 1 implant.

It is all worth it.

Ever since she was 9 weeks old doctors have been in her life. There

have been the HA fittings, the sound booth tests, the CI screenings,

the surgery failures, the infections, the pic lines, the sicknesses,

the defective CI, the re-implant.

But its all worth it.

Dont forget about the molds, the loss of her voice, the Hickman

line, the antibiotics, the antiviruls, the facial paralysis, the

vertigo, fifth's disease, the rotovirus...

....the joy of her telling me she loves me.

It is all worth it.

She recently turned 3 and loves to hear.

WOW! to have gone thru all of that and still say it's worth it is good to

hear! It is terrible to have to watch so many things happen to little

children and so tough to make the decisions....obviously you've made the

right ones!

congratulations on your efforts being successful in spite of so many

obstacles!
