I often get asked how Jazzie's speech is with her cochlear implant. We think she sounds great. Jazzie has done amazingly well and we couldn't be happier with her progress. The greatest compliment people can give is when they tell us that they can't even tell that Jazzie is deaf. We agree, you can't. For those of you interested how Jazzie sounds, there is a clip of her talking here.
Make sure you listen to the end where Jazzie's sense of humor comes through when she is talking about her aunts and uncles :-)
Great job girly!

Jazzie is one incredible kid! I know you beam with pride when it comes to all she has overcome. Ok, I cracked up not only at Jazzie being silly, but Tahlia's commentary at the end. I love that kid :) She has a deep, raspy voice like Paige's. I'll have to video Paige talking and let you hear...she and Tahlia are two of a kind! Have a good weekend!
