This is my adorable baby boy. Just by looking at this first picture you would never think that anything was different about him. He's just the sweetest looking baby boy with gorgeous blue eyes. He is, however, wearing hearing aids. They are quite small, and blend in really well with his skin and light hair, so they are hard to see in pictures.
As most of you know, he has a moderate hearing loss. No, he is not deaf. With his hearing aids he should be able to hear everything around him just fine. He should develop normal speech and be like any other child his age.
We are very grateful for the newborn hearing screening that was done in the hospital. Without it we would have no idea that there were any issues. We are also thankful for the technology being advanced enough to fit a tiny baby with aids that will let him hear his world.
We can't predict life's challenges, all we can do is live with what we've been dealt. There is comfort in knowing that God will not test us above that which we can handle. (1 Corinth 10:13)
“All these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.” (D&C 122:7.)
We are so glad to have this new baby in our home. He is very sweet, and his sisters adore him!
