  3. Oh beautiful Sienna, my little boy is currently going through the same thing! You are not alone sweet girl!

    I have a 8 mo old little boy, Troy, who is currently going through the process of finding out if he's a CI canidate or not.

    I will be sure to keep checking up on sweet Sienna and keep her and your whole family in our prayers!
