Baylor finally got his hearing aid yesterday. It was the cutest thing because you could see it all over his face that it was different. He kept making little noises to himself to hear the different sounds! Also, he said after we left the doctor's office "Mom, I can hear myself when I talk!" Wow! That's crazy the difference it makes. We went to Starbucks afterwards and he turned it off because their music was too loud! So, you want to know my first thought? The guilt of moms...why is there the mom guilt??? I spent this long knowing he might have hearing problems, but not knowing exactly how bad. What else do I not know? And how do kids tell you things aren't right if they don't know any different? Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again...lucky for us we have incredible doctor's (kudos to TX Children's Hospital) and incredible technology. And each year it only improves! We also have great family and supportive friends!
I'm so excited for him. It was well worth the cost!! :)

I know what you mean, Nicole. I have guilt everyday. My little Matt can't say one word. He can never tell us what hurts or even show us where. We "think" he can hear. We've had him tested when he was younger and everything was fine. You've got my wheels turning. Baylor is truly a miracle and a blessing!
