Doctor Visits Coming Up!

My friend, (Bless her heart for her support in getting in touch with the doctor she used for her son!) heard back from the doctor who did an amazing job on her son's cochlear implant. My friend also asked him for the other doctor that he highly recommends in Columbus. As it turns out, the doctor that he recommends happens to be the one that my audiologist set me up with in the beginning of February! How wonderful is that?!! That just blows my mind away that I went to to get a cochlear implant referral that I just picked from Columbus and she set me up with the doctor that three weeks later was recommended by a top cochlear implant specialist! I am anxious to speak to this doctor in Columbus in two weeks because he specializes in two things that right now I am struggling most with: dizziness and tinnitus. And let me tell you just how annoying tinnitus is!!! Augh, I have it 24 hours and most of the time, if I am focused on something I am able to ignore it. But it doesn't help when trying to sleep (especially when you desperately need the sleep when you're up feeding a baby through the night!), or when I hear a noise, like today, I thought I heard a siren and I immediately turned around frightened thinking something was wrong with the kids and I didn't know it and the police was here making the sirens. (I know I have such a big imagination!!) Hopefully I can get some answers from this doctor. Then a couple weeks later in February I will be visiting the other Doctor that my friend recommends and I hope then I can move forward and get a game plan going. There is a waiting list to see both doctors and I am thankful that I will be seeing them in February rather than much later! So until then, I am taking it one day at a time til I see those doctors!

  1. Heather you are such an inspiration! I am so excited for you. I have a hearing impaired child in my class this year. His hearing loss is genetic...his mom has it as well as his aunt and all of her children. I also had his cousin in class 8 years ago. He has hearing aids and we use an FM system that goes directly from my microphone to his hearing aids! It's cool because he can be all the way down the hall and I can whisper to him and he can hear it! He cannot hear me at all without his hearing aids. Anyhow, you are amazing! I'm lucky to know you :)
