Our daughter Lily Bliss was born in June 2007 with profound hearing loss. At 10 months old, she became one of the youngest in Nebraska to receive bilateral cochlear implants. This blog is the story of our hearing journey and the proof that Life really is Bliss.
Thank you so much for doing this
It keeps us up on Lily. Even with
the distance, I feel like i know her. I love the picture on the opening page. Any chance of getting it for my wall? Every time I need a boost, I look at
her picture. What an inspiration and still so little.

I agree with Ruthie. This blog is a great way to keep in touch, and I love Lily's picture looking out over the prairie. She is such a happy child.

Hi! I stumbled upon your blog yesterday when I was doing a search for "ling sounds" - what a happy accident! Lily is a doll - and how delightful to see all of her amazing progress! My daughter is hard of hearing and wears hearing aids. I'll enjoy peeking in on Lily's progress.
Very Best,
Hannah

This is incredible. I really had no idea so many people were blogging about their CI experiences. My son has one and I think I'm going to get him on this computer!

Hello, my name is Tommy Gerrish, and I'm a student at UN-L. I'm doing a report over cochlear implants, and I was wondering if I could interview you, an or your daughter. I think this is a fascinating story, and proof that early intervention is brings out the best results. If you would be interested you can email at gerrish@windstream.net Thank you for the story.
