Today Geraint’s mum shares a snippet from a typical day in his life….

Kush is an incredible reader, it's an area he thrives in. On the other hand, he struggles with writing and it's an area he finds hard. Still brilliant, still achieving, still worthy!

Our next WCAT Family Documentary is from Kirsty, Mum to Keldan @downwith_warriorkeldan

‘One of our daily routines as a family is supporting Archie to wear his BAHA hearing aid. Archie has glue ear which he’s had since birth and fluctuates throughout the year. When he has ear congestion his hearing is reduced and the BAHA sends the vibration sounds via the aid and skull which bypasses the congestion so he receives clear sounds. Archie had surgery for this procedure in April and since having the surgery has had a huge positive impact on his hearing, learning and communication. It took us all a little while to get use to fitting the aid as it connects to a abutment which is screwed into his skull, so as reassurance, Archie, as part of his routine has cuddles off his brother and sister while I fit the aid. His siblings call it their “cuddle duty” and are more than happy to oblige as you can see. When fitting his aid he’s not in any discomfort he purely gets some feedback from his hearing aid so he’s not keen on it being fitted as it’s gives a loud whistle noise for a few seconds. The cuddles make it more bearable for him though.’

Our wonderful ambassador Ivan has a great relationship with his girlfriend, even though he really struggles with his emotions. We all have our struggles. Still worthy!

"When little Eitan was born, Ana’el found it very hard. She had been the only child for 4 years and suddenly this new baby came along with a lot of demands. The first few weeks were so difficult and I was so worried it would be like this for years, but as she got used to him and the idea that he was here to stay, she started to get involved. Ana’el took on the role of big sister absolutely incredibly. If Eitan cried she’d run to get his dummy or bring a nappy to me. She fed him, bathed him and danced around trying to make him giggle. As the years have gone by they have grown so incredibly close. They look out for each other and comfort one and other.
