Ep 6: Shanie | Parent | CMV| Cochlear Implant Refusal | Bilingual Journey

I sit down with Shanie, a wonderful mother of 3 boys - her youngest Knox, is profoundly deaf due to CMV (Cytomegalovirus). Shanie talks about the emotional rollercoaster that was that first year of Knox's life, waiting to see if and when he'd meet those initial milestones. She also highlights the reality of the cochlear implantation journey that is so common for many deaf and hard of hearing children and how they chose to navigate it as a family. So much goodness in this one!
