I loved seeing Miss Lily Bliss a couple of years ago and marveled at her. Seeing the recent video reminded me why she captured my heart. The miracle of getting cochlear implants changed her life forever. I know that sweet Lily has achieved her ability to hear because she has the most loving and devoted parents and specialists that work with her. Big hugs to you all.

Thanks Sarah! I used to watch every kid video I could find. It was proof to me that things would work. I posted all these videos to give hope to new families and to provide examples of how to talk your head off :). I am glad you enjoyed them.
