My son is profoundly deaf!
Hi all I just thought I would let you know I had Georges ear appointment today and its not good he is profoundly deaf in both ears and will need a hearing aid and will need alittle operation before he is one as the deafness is very bad that they dont even think the hearing aids will work by themselves as it is in his inner ear! Still in a state of shock and confusion at the moment. They are doing to do tests to see what has caused it too as its not inherited but they think it was caused when he stopped growing inside me and the hospital were neglegent! I will update you more when i know just wanted to update you today.

Big hugs to you & George, I know someone who is profoundly deaf (since birth) and she has lived a completely normal life, hearing aids are amazing things these days xxx
Thinking of you lots, this must be really difficult to deal with.,just remember to ask for lots of support. he is a gorgeous little boy and im sure he will meet this challenge head on and be fab.

Just wanted to say that the quote from J&B is one I read when Ozzy was born in June and I admit it comforted me. Ozzy has Downs Syndrome.
The fear I felt for Ozzys future and the challenges he will face scared me witless. But now he's home and has been given a clean bill of health, that fear has come right down the scale and I now worry no more about his future than I do about my other childrens futures.
George is a real wee cutie, he will be fine, he has a family who love him.

joanne & brood has it spot on. i don't know that i planned for italy but i certainly never reached my expected destination, my son has been born with delayed visual maturation but coming onto 10 months he still can't see. it's hard but you love them and you as the mother give your child the strength to know they can do what they want and achieve anything they want. disabiltiy is only disability if you make it one.
i don't know if you've come across it but on here there is a section for children with special needs, personally i have found it great to go on there and find mums going through the same sort of things, it lets you know that youre not alone and gives you someone who truly understands what you are going through.
thinking of you and your family
