Living with CP: the early years part 11.

A vacuum sweeper.

Hello everyone. I hope everyone is having a great day today. Before I move on to another stage of my development, I want to relate to you a story about my sensitive hearing. I would cry all day, everyday. No joke! If the phone would ring I would cry. If someone came over and would ring the door bell I would cry. If someone would talk too loud or laugh when they came to the house I would cry. It would get so bad that Grandma would have to call her neighbor and ask her to come over and watch me while she got of the house for a break, but it all changed one day. My Grandma had me laying on the floor and I was crying as usual. Grandma got her sweeper out to sweep and when she turned it on to start sweeping I stopped crying. To this day we don't know if it was the motor or the vibration, but whatever it was it stopped me from crying! Sometimes you just have to figure little tricks like that out. 
 As a little side note, when we had tickets to go to anything that Grandma thought would have any loud sounds in it like a bang, Grandma always went the night before me so she would know when to hold my ears. I’ll write more about this in my next post.
