....SallyLou...I still find the quote "fixing the child or not"...quite "crude"!......I had my dog neutured...someone asked, "Did you get him "fixed"?...My car needed repairs....did you get it fixed?....The list goes on and on....
All my boys have their facilities, sight, hearing, smell & speech...if one of them could not hear or was HOH....I'm not about saying, "Well, I'm gonna get you "fixed"!....I believe if I said that, it would make him feel worser!....
I'm about saying, "I'm gonna try and do something to help you hear better....it might involve surgery." But if your're happy the way things are, then we can only consider it....and brain-storm the pros & cons of it.....Still, the bottom line would be my decision, but taking into consideration how my child really feels being deaf or HOH.....
