A few months ago, Lily got to live out one of her bucket list dreams of being a flower girl for our friends' wedding. It was a beautiful night with an equally fantastic flower girl dress to match. Lily stayed on her best behavior, walked down the aisle on cue and danced the night away.
The only challenge came when trying to communicate in a big converted warehouse that had been transformed into a wedding reception environment.
Lily occasionally looks to me as her "oral translator" in noise and unless we explain or point out Lily's hearing loss, it often goes unnoticed. However this night, one of the guests asked why I was repeating everything they said...weren't they speaking English? I had Lily explain that she uses CIs to hear and that noise was often challenging. It was a great learning moment.
