Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I am mostly a lurker- but am from Central Illinois. My youngest, Ellyssa,age 8, has moderate bilateral loss and wears aids. She attends the local parochial school, we pay for additional speak/langugae therapy 2x week outside of school, and she does pretty dog-on well! The other three kids are hearing with excellent selective listening skills! is 18 and leaves for college in just 7 weeks..... is 14 and can hear but doesn't listen (her attitude gets in the way!) and Mac is 10 and can only hear sports events or sports stats- never instructions on cleaning his room or taking out the garbage! Yes, the older three complain about their HOH sister and sometimes get very, very frustrated by issues hearing loss brings. I am not sure, though, if it is different than OTHER frustrations they have about her as the " littlest " in the family and I figure it would always be something. My oldest did grieve when her baby sister was diagnosed. Lyssa was diagnosed at age 5 after many years of struggling and language problems. lost a dearly loved vocal teacher who died in childbirth, a friend was killed in a tragic teen driving accident and Lyssa was diagnosed all in the same week. was VERY angry at God and it has taken a long time for her to work things out. was very overprotective for a while, and Mac has ALWAYS been his baby sister's interpreter and protector. Now, however, hearing loss is just part of life- sometimes Lyssa does really silly things or misinterprets in really funny ways when she doesn't have her ears in, we joke about the neighbors listening to the TV unless Lyssa puts her ears in, etc......and its okay. The 4 kids are always fighting over something- but God forbid an " outsider " say something about any of them- the claws come out and they will defend one another to the death! Guess that's pretty normal! BTW- Lyssa leaves for Lion's Camp today......she's excited and I am sad. It will be awfully quiet around here with one missing. HOW am I going to handle one going off for college?

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Sorry to be slow, we just drove back from AG Bell (11 hours - ugh! We did stop for meals though) Terri , Mom to Kathy, 11, bilateral CI Natick, MA (Mile 10 on the Boston Marathon) We started this journey in San Diego CA - Kathy had 2 high power hearing aids then moved just north of Austin TX - Kathy got her first CI at 7 1/2 Now almost 4 years in Natick MA - Kathy got her second CI at 11 (almost 12 now) It has been interesting to see how different states deal with DHH. Every place has had advantages and disadvantages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
