Uggh. I hated math classes. The point I was trying to make about waiting to teach sign was just that different families do different things. Yes I was playing devils advocate, but also some families think I am crazy for implanting Lilly. SOme say I m crazy for teaching her sign. Some this...

Is a B.A.H.A an option? (Bone anchored hearing aid).

Deborah, I left St.Louis 5 weeks after graduting high school. I went straight into the Army. When I left, I had my mind set that I was never coming back to St.Louis. Well, you see where I ended up. I came home for my family. I have a close family. At the time I was in the army, my sisters and I...

Deborah, Welcome! I am glad to see that you found your way here. Just curious. Why is it ok to tell a hearing parent that they should let the deaf child grow up and make the choice of whether or not they want a CI, After all, many here say that is the choice of the child right? If that is the...

From what I've heard, and read, you are not supposed to fly for the first four weeks after CI surgery. I guess it has to do with cabin pressure changes on and in the surgery site. If the doctor says its ok, then Im there! If not, we will have to cancel the trip, do the CI celebration next year...

Thanks, But remember, I have been battling since early last summer. As fas as the trip to San antonio, I will cancel it before I postpone the surgery. I can go the the cochlear celebration next year if necessary. And I've been to san antonio several times.

GOOD NEWS!!!!! The hospital finally got the approval letter fromt he insurance company! We have an appointment to meet with the implant team in early jan. We were told that we should expect to have the surgery in late january. WOOHOOOOOO!!!! The downside is the fact that we may miss the...

We were told to expect a surgery date in the end of Jan. If this is the case, (here is the bad news)we will probably not be able to...

DD, When I said that, I was referring to being a terp for the police department. Besides, if I did do this, it would be many years from now. My sign is very, very weak. It would take years of signing to get to that level. Ask Greema, she saw some of my sign last week. Its pretty bad.

Lucia, we can make room for him. We rented a midsized car. It may be tight in the back seat, with a car seat and all, but we can make it happen. I told my wife that I offered to drive you. If transportation is your only problem, we can make it work. Boult, I already booked and paid for...

Hey, I just heard about this last night. I was wondering if anyone else has (besides Greema, she was with me when we found out) heard of this. I really want to go to this. Ms. Disturbed, will you be in attendance? After all, it is in your hometown, so you could be our little CI Ambassador to...

It was a little before my time, but I think it was from a commercial when I was a little kid. Wasnt it a cigarrette commercial for VIrginia slims?

I never said it was was of the most stolen cars. I said it was easy to steal. I find those lists funny anyway. They do not take into consideration regional trends in stolen autos. The trends of stolen chrysler products are funny. Dodge has built their minivans and ram truck in st.louis for...

Genes and DNA ccan be very weird and hard, if not impossible to predict in most cases.

I love having a daughter. It took my wife and I 3 years to get pregnant so I was happy as hell regardless of if it was boy or girl. We want to have another kid, and once again, I dont care of the sex.

Very few kids ride bikes to school anymore. I dont know why. I work in a school (police officer SRO at jr.high). The school I am in has 1000 students and maybe 10 of them ride bikes to school. I just thought that kids were getting lazy. God forbid they voluntarily exercise. It would do them some...
