Gigi got hearing aids!

Here's what her family posted on their blog

We got an updated medical report for Gigi!! While it is all medical jargon, and we would much prefer some video and a picture she colored (though I am not sure she colors- she does not write with a pencil we know), it is SOMETHING. And during this process sometimes something is all you need to keep you going and something that lets you know your child is ok. Gigi had some episodes over the last few months that caused some concern and she was hospitalized, which is heartbreaking that we are finding this out months later since it is kind of a big deal when your little girl is in the hospital! However, her hospital visit has turned out to be such a blessing!! While she was there, she was seen by an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat doctor) and they established a diagnosis for her deafness: “bilateral neurosensory loss of hearing.” The doctor then ordered her hearing aids – yes you are reading correctly, Gigi got hearing aids!!! We were looking forward to the day that we, her parents, would take her to the doctor and get a diagnosis for her deafness and be there, if it was possible, when she first heard a voice and that it would be ours and sweet words of love from her family that would be pouring into her ears…as we are obviously disappointed that it didn’t work out that way, we know that God’s plan is bigger and better than ours, and we accept it fully! We will be with Gigi for plenty of firsts, and maybe it is good that her caretakers there are getting to experience it, it could lead to help for another child in the future!
