Scott Mallinson

A few months ago, we decided that a second cochlear implant was in Scott’s best interest. Bilateral implants are now considered beneficial for children who have had success with their first implant. For Scott, due to his visual impairments, a second implant will hopefully give him the ability to localize sound. With one implant Scott [...]

Scott as the Swedish Chef

We spent this past weekend in Harrison Hot Springs.  Scott had his fill of swimming in the pool and in the lake.  He also enjoyed riding the bumper boats.

We’ve been looking for a bike like this for a long time.  On the recommendation of Scott’s eye doctors, he is not supposed to be learning to ride a bike (at least yet) due to the danger of a potential fall to his one good eye.  He loves being on bike though, so we have [...]

Scott and his Mom went to Playland this week, and Scott got to go on some rides by himself!
