Right now we are stand still and shouting words to him just seems so rude and makes me feel like a bad mommy, but it's the only way he seems to really hear me sometimes. As for PIC, yep we have spoken with them and been evaluated by them a few times but he is just under the requirements of the development delay so they cannot help him. They have given us some information to work with the school district once he turns 3, but that seems so far away from now. Richelle, thank you so so so much.

I am more than happy to share my struggles if it could make just one day easier for another family. VickiRae- Have you looked into PIC? I know they are a little overloaded but they could steer you in the right direction. And in the meantime, while you wait for his tube placement, you should be able to get hearing aids for him at no charge through the state. I'll gather more info and email it to you. Let me know if you need anything! Thank you all for your touching responses. I am more than happy to share my struggles if it could make just one day easier for another family.

It is disheartning to have this happen but you have handled it very well and I am proud of you and Ethan for all the hurdles and now he can really enjoy his life. You have grown up to be such a wonderful mom and a beautiful young lady (I saw your photos). You are lucky to have the family that you do but I KNOW it doesn't come easy and you have worked very hard to get it that way. Be proud of yourself and keep your strength going! Love you, Aunt Michelle Hi Richelle,
