I never take anything for granted but have often said how grateful I am that Pip is the healthy one and not encumbered by problems. Sadly this is not now the case and as of this morning we learned that she has significant hearing loss as a result of problems/damage to the cochlear. We are now awaiting a referral to a specialist in audio vestibular medicine. Sometimes, life really does not make any sense but as Christians we know that God is for us and so once more we lean all the harder on Him and his word. I really do not know what we would do without our faith.
Don't know how it happened but we noticed that she wasn't responding when we called her name and the television and radio had to be on stupidly loud for her to hear.
Oh San! Gosh, I'm sorry. Isn't it so hard when it is one.more.thing?? We have variations of hearing loss in our family; there are lots of helps these days: lots of prayers for all of you as Pip walks this new path.
Learn hard on God: He can handle it, even when we cannot. {{hugs}}
I'm so sorry to hear the news about Pip. I hope she can be helped. Oh yes, our faith is such a gift. Without it, we would despair. Sending you much love and prayers. xxx
Oh dear, oh San! If it's not one thing, it's another! We'll keep you in our prayers. I hope they find a cause and find help. (Sigh). It's so worrisome. Keep us posted. Sending you a big hug, Dorina and everyone xoxoxoxo
It was lovely to speak to you the other day. I do hope you can get her the help she needs to navigate her way through her hearing loss. Keeping you in my thoughts as always.
*Sending hugs* Just been reading through your blog and can see you have faced a lot from the health perspective. What shines through from all your posts is the love in your family and your faith.
