I figure
I would answer
some questions that are often asked
Number one...
You born deaf?
I was not born deaf
Don't really know the answer
to what happened, when or why
Even to this day.
My mom
birthed me normally
my ma said that
When I was a baby
At one months old. two months old I was normal
Then at 3 months old
about there
between 3 to 9 months old
My mom can't remember exactly when
but she can remember about when
that my life changed.
Of course I don't remember
3 months to 9 months old
I was just still a baby not even a year old
She remembered I had become very sick
Had high tempature
my body was burning up
my mom
knew what she needed to do with a sick baby
Tried to keep me cool
She had 4 kids. I'm her forth
I'm the baby...yes..
She knew how
and plus she was a babysitter
She gave me medicence every so often
then put me in cool water
in the tub
These methods didn't work, didn't help
so she became very concerned
decided to take me to the hospital
I stayed in the hospital
Found out I had pneumonia
My mom said I stayed at hospital for 3 to 5 days
She doesn't remember but knew I stayed overnight at least
And then...
When I got home from hospital
She noticed some difference
as I progressed from there
One year went by Two years went by
She noticed I wasn't responding
to other noises �
