I'm thinking that perhaps I've entered a new stage. The other day I was talking to an Investment Advisor about opening a RDSP (registered disability savings plan) and I needed to share the details of Audrey's disability. The lady kept saying "I'm so sorry" or "oh wow :(" or "oh gee :(". I felt like saying "Don't feel bad for her. Don't pity her. Just open the effing account!" lol.
Obviously, I have moments when I wish that she wasn't a deaf girl. But, for the first time, I actually was surprised by the pity that I was receiving (or pity for Audrey).
This is my journey as a mom, with a daughter who has moderately-severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. I created this blog because I'm having a hard time keeping everyone who cares about our family up-to-date with our situation. This is my honest encounter. No editing (no time for that) so excuse grammar/spelling. Also, I'm writing this freely...this is my outlet and I don't want to sensor my thoughts or feelings. I don't mean to offend anyone so please forgive me if I do.

Audrey - Mama, I had a dream about my hearing aids
Me - Oh ya?
Audrey - Ya. and I just love them! I didn't love them when Mary was putting them in my ears but that was because I didn't know them then. Now I love them.
ahhhhhhhh :D
