The Flintstones!

We all remember the Flintstones don't we?!?!?! We'll not too long ago someone had me watch this YouTube video of the Flintstones. Its a neat little clip as over the 49 seconds it gives you a concept of what people are hearing when they are dealing with various levels of hearing loss. So many people figure if they just talk/yell louder that the person can hear and thats just not the case. CLICK HERE to get a taste of hearing loss in a familiar and comical little video clip! While you're watching keep in mind that Alistair has moderate to severe hearing loss.

Thanks Julie, I posted this to my facebook I see so many kiddos with mild to moderate loss and all my old NICU nurse friends will be interested in this. Helpful for families too. Alistair looks great. Pat

The Blog & I

I started this blog way back when I first found out at 16 weeks gestation that my son had his heart on the wrong side of his body which was later diagnosed as a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. I found that I was having to repeat the same story over and over again to friends and family on the phone and got to dread the phone calls. So by having this blog everyone was kept up to date on the scoop of life and then when I did have a good chat it was above and beyond the basics of our life along with chatting to them about theres. It worked brilliantly. Now I just keep it up as its a fun way to keep family and friends in touch and it also allows me to look back and see how far Alistair and I have come!
