I started slowly with a call to her and then emailing documents to her; she was very confident in fitting Alex with Aids. So we visited her today (April 8, 2010). She did not need to do any additional testing, because his tests have been ‘extremely consistent’. She just fit the molds, let us choose an aid, had Alex choose his colors, and we were done. They even have a built in FM system. Two weeks (April 28th) and $5000 out and this part of the journey is over. YAY!! (Alex's Hearing Aids) The most expensive sleeping pills (and only ones) I have ever bought! : )
Another testimony we (Saul and I) receive that “God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other in the kingdom” (President Spencer W. Kimball (LDS.org Kimball). I do believe that service could be just a simple expression of an experience or passing along some information that may help another, just as the lady at Chili's and the Mother of the child at church did for us. I can only hope that the information I place on this blog will help improve the quality of life for another hearing impaired child, no matter how mild the impairment.
I love that quote from President Kimball. It made my cry. And I'm so glad that Alex found hearing aides that work. Amazing that they have an FM system built in.
ReplyDeletePresident Kimball's comment touched my heart because I see Heavenly Father work through others daily to do His work. I know Heavenly Father is very aware of Alex's needs and yours needs as well. Your comments in Relief Society Sunday concerning Lindsay Jensen echoed President Kimball's comment as felt in your own life.
