It's Thankful Thursday and as always, I am thankful for good HEALTH...even more so this week as I have 2 friends who are in need of prayer for exactly that reason....one who recently lost a child after a unexpected  illness & lengthy hospitalization & for another  whose child is still going through medical treatments with the hopes of a positive outcome.....{Sigh}  But folks have been asking about this boy of mine, so here's an update
My Thing 2 was activated this week (his 2nd cochlear) and so far, it just has the robotic loud sounds, no voice recognition (it takes at least a year but could take YEARS of auditory rehab like the first one) and he is not happy!  For the first time ever, I have seen a grouchy, irritable child!  Poor thing!  BUT, that's why GOD gave me some outstanding therapists, educators and audiologists!  Our work is never done and so we keep working on my "mini masterpiece" and as long as he's healthy, that's all I can ask for-trust me, having a sick kid for almost 3 years was no walk in the park...  As I grumble driving to Johns Hopkins every Monday, I will keep reminding myself that I am there for a good reason and not a bad one :):)  My mantra: Lemonade not lemons!
