Friends, Romans, Countrymen......

Young Norris (3) has shown the first signs of improvement in his hearing since late November!
In the last few days he has misheard less, and in an amazing turnaround actually turned the T.V. down - saying that it was too loud! (we have been listening to kids programme's at an incredible volume for three months!). The fact that his deafness is fluctuating is a good sign because it indicates that it is probably nothing more sinister than fluid blocking the inner ear, causing the problem. This means that even if he still needs to have surgery, the insertion of bilateral grommits could well solve the issue for him. What we really long to see, of course, is the return of the contented, co-operative boy we saw before. Still this improvement is an answer to prayer, and a great encouragement at this stage.

That is great news! Being a parent myself, I can totally understand. I believe in prayers too, so will include li'l Norris in ours.

BTW, you are on a roll today, what's with all the posts? :)

Yes, yesterday was a bit overkeen, wasn't it! I'll try and control myself better in future.
