Wow! It has been forever since we have been on here! Life has been crazy! but steven got his first implant and is doing great! he has been hearing for 4 months now! He can say mom and da and hi but he understand alot of what you are saying when you talk to him, even if he cant say it himself yet.Steven has a early intervention person come each tuesday to work with him to help him get sounds down and helps him talk. She does great with him we love having her come! Steven goal is too have fifty words down by the time he turns two, which will be in august. It will be a lot of hard work for him but we know he can do it! We are still saving and rasing money for him to get a second implant on his left side but it might take us awhile to get there, but he will do just fine with the one. With on;y being able to hear for four months steven is doing great all his doctors are very impressed with him.. they say it because us as parents are working so hard with him, but i think Steven, is just a very smart boy.Who deserves all the credit! We are going to start posting alot more so friends and family that dont live close by will know all about how our little man is, and how are family is!
