Hearing Himself
After nearly 18 months of advocating, calling, scheduling, speaking up, driving to Columbus for appointments, wondering, advocating, persisting, analyzing, persuading, and asserting myself on my child’s behalf, I’m happy to say that my dear Colby, who turned six last week, FINALLY has two hearing aids in his ears. After just a couple days, we can […]
I See You, January
You know that feeling you got when you were eight and the teacher somehow kept not seeing your raised hand every time she looked your way? I’ve recently volunteered (hard) for something. And God, or the Universe, or whoever she is, said no. Not now. You… You must wait. And then a series of other […]
