I was born two weeks early and I became very sick and I spent the first three years of my life in the hospital. The doctor found out I had Ommens Disease.

The doctors were not sure if I went deaf because of the Chemo Drugs or if it was part of my disease (Ommens)

My parents didn't discover I was deaf until I was about three and a half. I got hearing aids when I was four.
I can hear music and people talking with my hearing aids, but not really understand speech. i can hear loud music or noises without my hearing aids. I can talk and lip read. I learned sign language when I was in grade 2 in a hearing school. Siging helps me uderstand my teacher and my deaf friends. I bet you were wondering why my eararen't working? let me tell you why... The cochlear has a job. When some one make a sound, it goes into my ear as sound waves. A heathly signal goes to my brain makes it understand. My ear and my brain are fine, but my cochlear isn't working. It is missing a few hairs. Therefore my ears aren't working.

What is Ommens?

When i was first born I threw up all the time no one knows why, I got very sick. At seven months the doctors knew my bone marrow was not able to fight infections because it was not making "T" cells.
I had a bone marrow transplant. No one in my family had a match for my bone marrow. The doctor finally found a man in England named Victor Warren.

I had chemotherapy to kill my bone marrow.
The chemotherapy was very hard on my body it damanged:

- my hair cells and that is my hair is thin.

- My nail beds so seven of my nails won't grow back

-My skin cells on my hands so now my skin is very dry and peels.
