Well as you probably already know, Edward has Mild to Moderate hearing loss. With this loss it may be correctable with a surgical procedure or if worse case scenario he wears a hearing aids his entire life. I was really upset to hear this news as I broke down crying that yet another obstacle is our way. However Melissa turned to me and said, "I am happy, we have a happy and healthy young man, who was born at 23 weeks and should not be nearly this healthy". As I have that statement some thought, I realize that she is right, Edward is a blessing from God, and we should be thankful for every day we have with him, because medically he should not even be alive. Thank you Melissa for shaking me out of my depression.
Below is the cutest picture I ever took of Edward and Melissa. It is a picture of the two of them walking hand and hand out of LA Children's Hospital today. You might notice a dog in Edward's arm, that was what he picked out at the gift shop at LA Children's Hospital. Every time I look at this picture it makes me want to cry...
