Aiden is six months! I can't believe how fast this time has gone! Where has it gone??!!?? I feel like I just had my binky boy yesterday! Well, he officially turned six months on Sept. 17th, but I just haven't had time to post about it with everything in transition.
Here is a video I put together to look back at the last six months and where we've come. Remembering back, I felt so lost, so scared, so angry. That's changed. A little anyway. I've definitely come to terms with my binky boy's hearing loss and have taken an active stance in finding out all I can about it. I know now that I want to help other people. I know I don't want other moms feeling as lost and helpless as I did. I know there are a lot of families out there who need to be educated how important follow up tests really are. I know I want to make a difference. I know I will do everything in my power to provide Aiden a hearing world. I'm still scared, scared for the days when he cries to me, when he's sad about being "different", when he's scared. But I know too, at that time, I will be strong for my boy, just like I am today. And although I may be shattering with grief inside at these times, he will never know it. He is my strength, and I can only hope I will be his.

Our precious little boy, Aiden, was diagnosed at birth with profound hearing loss in both ears; he was born deaf. This site is to help journal my feelings, keep family and friends updated on our son's journey, but more than anything, I hope our story can help ease another family's worries as so many other families have eased mine. Another chapter in our life opens ... this is Our Journey to and beyond cochlear implants ... Our Journey to let Aiden hear.
