Never Sounded Better
Recent Updates August 24th, 2009
Mommy & Zeke can hear one another!
The hearing aids are in! After a long 4 hour appointment this morning, Jesi brought Zeke home with his first pair of hearing aids. The difference is very noticeable when he is wearing them – he blinks and starts at much much softer sounds. He seems to enjoy hearing quite a bit, although it was a little overwhelming for him at first. For the next week or so, he’ll only be wearing them for a few hours at a time while he’s awake so that his ear can get used to having them and not get irritated. They’re super cute and he doesn’t seem to mind them at all; his favorite bouncy seat is much more engaging for him now that he can hear the music; and he’s responding much more to Mommy’s voice.
Thus begins a life of assisted hearing; we’re just grateful that they’re available and that we can already see such a difference in how he interacts with us.

Dave and Jesi,
What wonderful pictures! His smile is a beautiful thing! I will continue to pray for the health of the other kiddos to all get well before going into the fall and winter. I am so glad the insurance came through with helping to pay for the hearing aids. And I am so glad the Lord provided for Dave’s new job even though it’s longer hours and less $$ it is a blessing he still has a job! I’ll also pray for mom and dad’s health as well. You guys are amazing! Keep up the good work!

He looks amazing! I can’t believe how big he’s gotten. You can almost tell what he’s thinking in this pictures when he’s hearing so much for the first time. Congrats ‘Mom and Dad’ on this milestone. I know it comes after many tears and prayers. You’re doing great.
