Cochlea inplant and speech therapy after 2 years
A cochlea implant makes all the difference.
Video:
2 years after cochlea implant luc is signing and speaking - well almost!
After speech therapy his cochlea was definitely worth it
Cochlea implant switch on
Luc’s implant was done a year ago. This video show the switch on – amazing – from stone deaf to hearing.
He is now 2/12 and loving every second of his hearing world. We continue with sign language training – he might lose his hearing as the Leukodystrophy progress – no signs yet though.

What A Place To Be
Sue and Luc
What a place….
Nothing to be say
Nothing to do
Nothing to hope for
Nothing to ease
Nothing to comfort
Nothing….
My Child is dying
What an empty despairing place to be
Drop my head and surrender
Towards death
Ignorant innocence
Bliss in childness
No knowledge of death
No knowledge of life
Just the new moment
Popping into existence
Fascination with creation
Happening now
Guiltless disdain for anything not interesting
Moving on with anticipation
Embracing the flow
Towards death
MyChild is Dying
My child is dying
Waves of sadness swell and break….
Tearing, engulfing, overwhelming.
Creeping joy is ripped by what will not be.
Now love is turned
To pain for a future nothing.
To stay now in the joy?
How – every new step is a step that cannot be finished?
To take the gift now and know it is gone tomorrow.
Beautiful boy, shining smile, so much love
Gone , for what, to what
My heart, my life is ripped with every child nuance.
“Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.” Kahlil Gibran
Brand new!
Leave us your thought and experiences.
If you have poured your heart into a poem – share it with us.
Be brave – remember to live in the now.
I am taking every moment of Luc’s life, in every detail, and loving it. All I have left is to give him love.
He is now 2 – the support and help we have got from friends, family and strangers has been great.
He is showing no signs of Leukodystrophy yet – just a happy kid.
