God bless you man!! I wish all the best to you and your family.Fragmenter said:I tried to fool myself that my son was having progress with his hearing aids the last couple of years. I could tell he couldn't hear nor speak as well as his younger sister. When the school explained to us clearly that he would always struggle with even the best HA's and that if we wanted him to continue developing his speech and hearing abilities, that CI was the last option after HA's.
It took me 2 hours of soul searching and a long conversation with a close hearing friend to feel this calmness pushing out my fears. I took the rest of the day off from work to be with my wife. We had a talk about a 5 year old boy with deaf parents we knew who was implanted a year ago... I remember being impressed how well he pronounced words and how well he conversed with us in sign language last month. That encounter kind of took away all the negative thoughts I had about CI all on its own.
It took humility, wisdom and love to change my feelings.
