Episode #49: Giving Our Sons the Gift of Sound (Part 2): Raising Deaf Children with Cochlear Implants

Show Notes: This is the second half of my recent conversation with Felicia Aquilo, the mother of two young boys who were born profoundly deaf. She and her husband, Steve, have faced the challenge of giving their boys the gift of sound; equipping them with cochlear implants, teaching them to speak as well as sign language, and helping them appreciate music and other sounds. Join us as we hear from Felicia about her journey, her sons’ progress, and her very real hopes for their futures. This is part 2 of Felicia’s story. Be sure to catch the first part in Episode #48! In part 1, Felicia shared her “facts” for the game of “2 Truths and a Lie.” Can you guess which statements Felicia shared were her truths and which was her lie?
