Five years ago today I was pregnant with a sweet baby girl.
Five years ago today I was finishing up my student teaching.
Five years ago today I lost a great woman- My Grandmother.
She lived a great example of what a strong, giving woman is. Some of the best memories I have are those with her. I miss her everyday. We named that sweet baby girl Nola. I am grateful and honored to be able to have named my daughter after my Grandmother. My Nola has already shown the strength and determination my Grandmother had. Jonathan and I chose the right name.
Now five years later I am pregnant with a sweet baby boy.
Five years later I am teaching.
Five years later I still grieve for the woman I lost.
I love you Grandmother.
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.

Time Nola has been a part of the Hearing World
- 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!

What a wonderful legacy she started and it will continue through your daughter! Grandmothers are so special and i know they are with us in spirit even though they may have passed on.
Nola was indeed a special woman - anyone who could accept me into the family had to be. She loved you girls - and she loves our Nola - I promise you that she is watching and loving you all right now! I love you, Daddy
