This is her story

This is the story of Kairi Yen Nguyen. Kairi was born with severe/total hearing impairment. I am keeping this web log for her so that she and others can share in the journey that her life will have to take with this condition.

Surgery #2 Coming Soon

Kairi has her second Cochlear Implant surgery scheduled for Nov 19. I will post new videos and pictures at that time.

What does Kairi Understand?

So Kairi can hear... but what can she understand?

Kairi understands:

- Kiss (she will give you a kiss)
- Bye Bye (she will wave and sometimes say Bye Bye)
- Give it to... (she will give what is in her hands)
- Kairi (she will turn to her name)
- No (she will pause or stop what she is doing.... sometimes)
- Blanket (she will get her blanket)
- Shoes (she will get her shoes)

Kairi had lots of fun at Oaks Park this year with her brother.
