As you all know, things have been quite bleak around the Perkins' household. Steve and I just want to thank everyone for the kind words and support. We have received so many comments and e-mails from all of you, and we are so grateful to be in your prayers. Things are getting better. Steve and I are extremely blessed to have the rambunctious 2 year old that runs our house! The day that we found out Cal had hearing loss; I was doing dishes at the sink bawling. Londyn was busy playing with her bear when all of the sudden I heard her say, “Mommy, B smells like farts.” Who can continue crying when they hear something like that! I really needed a good laugh, and Londyn definitely delivered.
Today we had an appointment with the Ear Nose and Throat doctor to get a prescription for hearing aids. While we were getting ready to go, Londyn spotted a U of U sweatshirt jacket in Cal’s drawer (size: 3-6 months). Londyn of course had to wear it, and we could not convince her to take it off. We spent the morning running errands with Londyn in a jacket that came to her elbows and barely reached her belly button. I know that Heavenly Father gave me Londyn, so that I could have a few good laughs during this hard time.
Cal goes in for a repeat ABR test to make sure the results were accurate, and he will then be fitted for his hearing aides. He is such a sweetheart, and I am anxious to be done watching him get poked and prodded by so many doctors!

I feel like a dork for not calling or commenting sooner. I know you've both got awesome families to help you but I'd love to help if you need ANYTHING! I even have some 3-6 month girl clothes I'd love to give Londyn if she's planning on sporting that look for long. Ha! Thanks for the updates on everything with little Cal, I'll be praying for him and the rest of you too. Love you!
You guys have such an awesome Family. Londyn is such a hoot and we love you and Steve so much!! Our hearts and prayers are with you guys and little Cal and can't wait to see you again.
I have never blogged before so we'll see if I can do it. Kathy just told me about your blog site. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Yesterday in Relief Society we had a lesson on trials. I was thinking of you guys and what great parents you are. The thought came to me that perhaps that the reason Londyn is so advanced in her communication is that the Lord gave her that gift and she will learn quickly how to communicate with Cal.
You guys are awesome.
Brynn,
Please know my family is thinking of yours during this time. Your kids are the cutest.
Take care,
Katie
Good luck with all that you are going through. I will be praying for you.
Brynn-Londyn looks so cute in Cal's U of U jacket. I will be thinking about you you. I know you and Steve will be ok. I hope all goes well in the next couple of weeks.
