Something I had to share.

My son is 7yrs old and deaf and goes to the deaf school in our state. Well yesterday (Sunday) I was telling him he had to get ready to go to school ( he stays in a dorm all week plz no bashing) and he tells me he doesnt want to go cuz he doesnt want to be deaf anymore he wants to be hearing like mommy and daddy. It broke my heart. He wasnt born deaf he had meningitis at 15months that took his hearing. But he knows that hes different then us and his brother and sister.  I feel so bad for him but I know with my whole heart him going to the deaf school is the best school for  him cuz we have already tried public school.

I wish I could give him my hearing like I could give him my kidney. If only it was that easy.

I'm so sorry I know that just broke your heart! My DD is hearing impaired and she asks me all time "when I'm 10 will I have to wear them" she will change the age and ask me again and it just hurts me so much that there is nothing I can do. So I really feel you on that I would much rather put her disability on me to take away any pain she feels from being hearing impaired.
