I am happy to read about the victories you and your family went through this cochlear implant. I wish yu could help me find a donor for my daughter too. In the Philippines, it very hard to have it considering the cost although here it cost only an estimate of $30,000.00. Like you, I am a father who wish to give what is best for his child. At any rate, may God bless you always and your kids>

Hey guys! We are so happy to hear of the kids progress. We received the news articles on Madalyn and Jarrett. Our Emma is really progressing 15 weeks into the implant. She does all Ling Six Sounds and it seems as though we are relying less and less on sign! Thank you for maintaining your website. It has been a huge source of inspiration for us and other parents dealing with the trials of hearing loss.

Hi Megan, Paul & Jarrett,
I'm so glad to hear everything went well. I don't know if I will do Sydney-Anne's other ear. She has a total of 205 words...seems like such a long way to go to get caught up. She goes back to House Ear on March lst for her 6 month mapping. Love the website...so easy to stay in touch. Thanks.

Hello to Megan, Paul, and my favorite grandchildren,
We are so blessed to have the most wonderful grandchildren in the world. We look forward with hope and prayers to Madalyn's next implant. (She continues to smile through it all.)
Jarrett will take care of us old folks with his major league baseball career. If baseball doesn't work out, there's always golf.
Although Madalyn will hear everthing soon, I know that she will continue to ignore me when I beg for kisses!
My Love, Granny
