I am so sorry it has taken so long to post an update on our little Makayla, but we have been so much change and been so busy!!!! We SOLD our home in Washington 9which was a total GOD Thing), moved to Colorado for my husbands job (it was a transfer with the same company), she had her bi-lateral Cochlear Implant Surgery in Denver, the kids all started school, and now she has just gotten her devises turned ON (9-9-10)!!! Within about 3 months Makalya will hear all that we hear. The speech will come but not all at once. Just like when any child is beginning to speak...it takes time. The Dr.'s now believe Makayla HAS heard before because her reaction to the "ON" moment was so calm and no tears, she wasn't scared at all. Any child that is born profoundly deaf cries at this point because it can be so scary to hear for the first time. Makayla just smiled and needed some hugs and kisses...it was so SWEET.
Thanks everyone for your prayer for her and our family...we are so BLESSED!!!

WOW...this was incredible to watch. Tears of joy are streaming down my face. I am so thrilled for Makayla and all of you. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful and special moment in Makayala's life with us. Give her a big hug and kiss from us. Love Cynthia and Taylor :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing video of my beautiful neice and sister!!! Loved it so much. She is such a little treasure... I just imagine sometimes how different her little life must feel to have so much love after living in a place so lonely. Incredible!
ReplyDeleteWe are currently waiting to bring home our son from the Wenzhou City CWI. I would love to chat if you have time about your thoughts about the CWI as well as if you remember seeing our son while you were there. :)
