So I have been B.A.D. about updating! Nola is sleeping in her own bed until the wee hours of the morning- then she comes into our room. It is a great start and I am thankful she now enjoys sleeping in her bed. We still need to work on the soothing herself back to sleep. I'm not sure how to teach a 3 year old that skill again. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
We have been invited to be part of a study through Washington University. They are looking at the language development of children who receive cochlear implants before the age of 36 months. Nola got hers at 26 months. I am excited Nola's was asked to be a part of this study!
I need to post pictures of her in her valentines outfit. She was SO CUTE!
This blog is to share with others our family's journey with hydrocephalus and hearing loss. We hope this blog gives hope and inspiration to families who may be facing the same diagnosis.

- Nola's Journey
- Nola Gracyn's journal is to help others keep up with our little miracle. She was born with congenital hydrocephalus and has had 3 surgeries as a result- shunt placement & 2 revisions. Nola was diagnosed with profound hearing loss in the Summer 2009, and had bi-lateral cochlear implant surgery on December 14. Nola was "turned on" January 6, 2010. Nothing will stop this spunky little thing! She amazes her Mommy & Daddy everyday and charms everyone she meets. We cannot imagine life without her!
