• Hi everyone! I am new here on this blog. My name is Sheila. I have Usher's Syndrome 2. I am mother to 6 and grandmother to 12. All of my children are grown except for one girl who is now 15. I use a Cochlear Implant and a Seeing Eye Dog. I used to teach but now am early-retired and writing full time. I have advocating for the Deaf-blind for years. I am quite the amatuer but I do like helping out when I can. I read a post from Carol about her new frustrations as a deaf-blind Mom. First Carol, the feeding will get easier, but what I did was, hold the babys chin in my left hand and guided the spoon the the mouth with my right hand. As far as losing her when she is crawling around, I set limits.. I used baby gates and other things to restrict the baby to an area what would be easy for me to find them. I have so much to share with you Carol. Please feel free to email me privately as well... at ShasQuerida@aol.com. Any of you may email me, I look forward to getting to know some new people and make some friends.
  Sheila
