Thanking the Lord above!!!

So many changes in so little time... what more could I ask for? I have a wonderful husband, 2 beautiful red headed boys, and 1 little doggy we call Dixie Piggie!

I recently attended a parent/teacher conference and not to my surprise Nathaniel is not falling behind at all!!! He joins in for book time, circle time, he participates in everything all of the other children do and does great if not better than some!!! Isn't God Great? He has increased his vocabulary up to 20 or 30 words, he knows all of the alphabet, he can count to 10 correctly, and he is even starting to write his name, tie his shoes, and much much more!

Needless to say, I wake up everyday Thanking God for everything he has done for my family and myself. This life wouldn't be the same without him in every minute of it :)

HEARING AND LOVING IT!!!!!

Just an update on the little man.... He is doing Great :) Praise God He gets bragged on soo much and he is learning new words everyday! God is Good.... Keep praying for our family :)

Hearing Better and Better Everyday!!! September 7th, 2010

Nathaniel had his 2nd appointment since his surgery yesterday and everything is going great! He is hearing out of the Left ear at about 50%. A normal hearing percentage is 20 so he doesn't have far to go. The audiologist said that by next month he will be hearing normally out of both ears/Cochlear's. Amen!! That's what I've been waiting to here. There is a lot of hard work of course that follows "Learning to Hear" For example: We went to a football game last weekend and out of all the noise, a cricket chirped.. I told Nate to "listen" and when he did, we found the cricket. It is just amazing to me that he is finally starting to notice the wind blowing, water running, cell phones ringing.... just so many little things that we take for granted daily. Thank you Lord and Thank everyone for all their support and prayers.

Left Cochlear Implant Hook Up Date 8-31-10

It's a Success!!! Nathaniel went to his Audiologist today and got his Left Cochlear Hooked Up... Sure the surgery is the hard part but today makes all the heartache worth while. He heard sound out of his Left ear for the first time today. We go back every week for the next 2 weeks to "tune" his device to the correct settings and he will be "Set"!!!! Praise God Thank you for all your prayers and God Bless!!

Turn on Date for Nathaniel's Left Cochlear

So it has almost been a month and it's time for Nathaniel to finally start hearing out of his Left ear. We go up to Lexington on August 31st to see what will happen. They will put his new Cochlear on and test it and by the end of the day, my lil man will be hearing out of both ears after being born deaf. God is Great, God is Wonderful..... I'll keep ya posted
