EC is a kid that always likes to be out and about. She likes to experience new things all the time. When we go out nobody suspects she is deaf..well until they look closely at her ears where her BTE hearing aids are. Many times before i been asked what were those gadgets on her ears??were those some kind of high tech earphones? innocent questions that brought a moment of laughter on the seemingly hard truth condition of my child. Dont get me wrong but I have to admit i was tempted many times to let the questions pass as they are “high tech gadget and earphones” to avoid further explanations of EC’s condition…but reality checked again on me as always…I HAVE TO BE AN ADVOCATE FOR MY LITTLE EC, needless to say that’s the least of i can do to inform the public about hearing impairment..its implications and the solutions for the hearing loss.
Two weeks ago we brought EC to her aunt’s company halloween party..she was dressed up like tinkerbell the fairy. Although she was little tired after the occassion she immensely enjoyed every moment of the party. But EC was not the only one who got exhausted..my sister and I were worn-out after carrying our little fairy from 2nd to 7th floor and again down to 2nd floor of the building. All the children in the party needed to go up and down the stairs because all the escalators were not working at that time..whoa ( deep breath). But everybody was happy…EC got lots of candies in her pumpkin bag which she tidiously checked for one by one everyday. The best part was EC won a consulation price, she was included in the top 10 best in costumes. (hooray for ms fairy)
