Brennan's Journey

The support Brennan has received is overwhelming and incredibly humbling. There is a growing number of people who are asking us how they can help Brennan through his journey and our main focus and priority continues to be prayer for Brennan, his overall health and for the doctors. But so many people are wanting to help even more. For those that feel led to help Brennan financially, a "donate" button is now available. It is linked directly to a special account for Brennan and his long road ahead. Any amount is greatly appreciated. I wish there were words to express our gratitude for all of the support and prayers B is receiving. Thank you to all and God Bless.

Brennan's Class Time

Brennan is involved in a program, due to his hearing loss, which is offered through the school district. It is called the Early Start Program. We wish we would have found out about it earlier in Brennan's life, but we are so thankful that we know about it now! It's a free program funded by the state that offers therapy, one-on-one time, group classes etc... for orthopedic, vision and hearing issues for kids age birth - 3 years old. Brennan does some one-on-one sessions with the speech therapist twice a month and we go to classes twice a week.

On Wednesday mornings there is a support group for the parents. We start the day bringing our kids to a classroom where we do circle time. We sing songs that start the morning and then the parents go to the room next door to talk while teachers do activities with our kids. We discuss anything from issues we are dealing with as parents to issues we are dealing with that apply to our kid's specific needs. After an hour or so, we go next door and pick up our kids. We do circle time again that includes a "good bye" song.

On Friday mornings we go to a Deaf and Hard of Hearing class. This is a "mommy and me" class where we do different activities with our kids. It's such a fun time for Brennan because he gets to interact with other kids and do a bunch of fun crafts and activities that I wouldn't normally think about doing at home. Here are some pictures from a Friday class.

Brennan is always very excited about starting class...
