And we too are praying for all of you as you get used to this new reality of your lives!<br /><br />I didn't even tell you the other day that my father had a family of deaf cousins! We never thought anything of it, only that they all communicated by sign language with one another and growing up I felt left out because they could communicate with or without words! Now there is a different perspective!Beck's Bulletinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15577880162140319531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728149.post-28730377413698397552007-01-31T19:25:00.000-08:002007-01-31T19:25:00.000-08:00Thanks for the great post claire, and thank you fo...Thanks for the great post claire, and thank you for of all for your vigorous research. It means so much to me that you are farmiliarizing yourself with all the information we are sorting through. Your links and thoughts have been helpful!<br />Our good friend Candace (she was in our wedding party, blond, and many other wonderful things!) has a cousin who had the implant done 10 years ago, and is doing wonderfully, and is happy she has it! We also met a number of parents at the central speech and hearing clinic (here in CSHC) who have children with the implant and work there as speech therapists. It is neat to be connected to people as they share their stories. I bet we will actualy come across Ceon's family friends (cshc is the only clinic in winnipeg that does implant speech therapy). <br />Thank your so much for your prayers, and links and thoughts and concerns! Support is an amazing comfort and will be needed for the next while (and in years to come as we have been told that teaching children to speak is serious, difficult, important business).<br /> <br />We should be sending your post-christmas present out as soon as we get photos back (hopefully by the weekend!) Can't wait to send it your way!<br />Love JanieDAve and JAniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390662900535826211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728149.post-87676435524328340722007-01-30T07:13:00.000-08:002007-01-30T07:13:00.000-08:00Well written as always, you have expressed pretty ...Well written as always, you have expressed pretty much the way I'm thinking.<br /><br />I'm struck over and over by how God has orchestrated all this. How else would your ex-roomie turn out to be someone whose brother knows a family with 2 deaf kids who've had implants, who live in the same city as D , J & C? The odds against that are phenominal.<br /><br />I've been moved too by so many people who have commented on the blog, emailed and most of all prayed and will continue to pray. We belong to a vast network of fellow believers - the Body of Christ in action. It is truly awe inspiring.<br /><br />Love, Mom XXMom Colvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402738226991579932noreply@blogger.com
