And yes, she does have what she believes to be her granddaughters best interest at heart. I understand her need and want to advocate for her granddaughter, but she needs to maybe go back and think how she would have felt if HER parents or her in-laws had tried to tell her how to raise her own two deaf children. My son wanted an implant too and requested one at age 5, but I had weigh up the pros and cons for him, a 4 or 5 yr old child is just not capable of understanding all of the ramifications involved. That is where the parent comes in and I do feel that these Deaf parents did extensive research. They visited a hearing family with an implanted child and also a Deaf family with an implanted child. They didn't just categorically say no, and when they did decide against it, I do feel that their decision should have been respected. That's all.
