UPDATE: The Lord blessed the operation. Shalem is now able to hear and in time will be able to talk. Praise the Lord for enabling this child to be able to  hear the Gospel and in time proclaim His praises.  In some of the pictures you can see the boy is wearing a big blue vest thing, that was his temporary “hearing aid” until the small ones were fitted and ordered. Some of the pictures also have him with the new hearing aids. So now he is going to  clinic once a month  to learn to speak, the cost is about $75 a month. Supposedly he will have to keep going to the clinic for 5 years, than they think he will be doing much better and won’t need to special schooling anymore.
