Wow. I remember reading about the California trip when it happened. Have I been hanging around here that long?

It's always interesting, educational, and inspirational reading your story. Thanks for sharing with us.

You've come a long way since then.

I have a friend from FL that's in the Walk for Hearing. I think it's the same one.

Take care.

Ohhhhh Jen! This past year HAS been an incredible journey for you - and I am sO glad I've been along for the ride! We knew ... didn't we... that God was going to use you for something BIG with this? And he already HAS! In such a short time! The JOY and enthusiasm you share about these CI's has touched sO many people! And you only know the ones who happen to comment! AND you only know the ones you are actually talking TO... you don't know HOW many people have "overheard" your conversations and been lead to explore the implants - perhaps for a loved one! You are touching people DAILY! I just know it! THIS is your MISSION Baby!!! I LOVE watching you and God in action! He has blessed you ABUNDANTLY!!!

What a great post, your CI posts always remind me how lucky we are that the technology exists. My little Tom loves hearing too and sometimes I am guilty of taking his CI success for granted. Thanks so much for blogging and sharing your stories
