I’m no where near having a child or ever considering going on that journey. But as a human, I feel like I’m learning so much through your experience with your son regardless, even though it really doesn’t apply to my situation. But isn’t that the beautiful thing about lessons? It’s rarely what you expect, and you find them exactly where you wouldn’t have looked for them. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the joyful, but also the intimate moments.
Your son is such a delightful little guy! I’m sure so many people have benefitted from your journey. Part of the meaning and purpose in our lives is to help others along the way. You definitely do that. Thank you.
My parents were in that position and I was Cooper. Have a few different conditions but have developed some hearing problems in my adult years. But growing up in the hospital setting made me want to know and advocate and teach families and children about their conditions and others WHY people are born the way they are! My job would be to join a physician in the room for the first conversation and support YOU! I’m almost done with my schooling and will be a child life specialist!! ❤
Bless you gal! Cooper is lycky to have you guys for his parents. Not to forget that he is just so stinkin' CUTE! How could you not love him to bits!!! 🤗
I just discovered your short videos, the comments are off again. Lol. I enjoy seeing just how Cooper is just a normal little guy. He just has an extra way to aggravate his mommy! Thank God for the technology we have today, it makes life easier and more challenging huh.
Thank you so very much for sharing your lives with us, I appreciate you taking the time to explain your life experiences! 😊 I balled like an absolute baby (Happy Tears) when I watched your guys's video of how Cooper signed "Mama" for the very first time, oh my goodness what a blessing he is, along with all children, but to see & feel your raw emotions of Cooper saying Mama & him knowing he said it, was AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! 💗💜💓❣
I’m a momma of four and I just found the two of you and I have to say you all are the most beautiful and amazing people EVER my two girls would absolutely adore and love Cooper more than anything in this world!! My boys are older 17 and 11 and my 11 year old is autistic and he just lost his dad but he would be absolutely adoring of Cooper as well! And me as a mom I am very inspired by you!
I just starting watching your videos. I had a tubular pregnancy in 1991. The week I found out about my pregnancy. I also lost my baby. I was so heartbroken! I wasn’t able to have children after that but I watch your videos and cooper is such a blessing! Your a great mom and being an advocate for other moms out there helps them through having a deaf child. Your a blessing as well❤ Cooper chose you to be his mom. And you are a great mom! I have seen the video where he was over stimulated by noise and he chose to take his ears off. He knew what to do and you did too. So please keep posting his journey so I can also watch him grow. He is adorable! And please ignore the haters out there! Your doing a EXCELLENT job with YOUR son Cooper❤
Hi Michele So sorry to hear about your very painful loss. And not being able to have another baby. I'm curious about something you wrote in your comment. You wrote that Cooper chose his mother. And I've heard this kind of thinking before but if I chose my mother then there must be something very wrong with me. I say that because my mother was a severely narcissistic woman, and being raised by her was torturous and extremely traumatic. So I was curious what made you come up with that philosophy? Thank you so much for sharing your journey, at least the part that you did and have a great day.
@@kavitadeva I guess I learned that through my religion. And I too at times wonder why things happen the way things do. Maybe it’s a journey we have to go through. I know it’s not fair to others. And why do some experience a great life. I also have questioned the same. Why I couldn’t have children . Why my sister that’s not a good person has three. I also questioned what’s my purpose. So I have faith one day I’ll know that answer. I have had a lot of heartbreak through this journey, trust me when I say this! I know one day I’ll meet my baby and can’t wait till that day! I’m very sorry your life has been very difficult 😞 and I’m not sure I answered your question? I know I’m a better person than my sister and siblings. Someday we will know the answers . Have faith and be the better person. That’s just how I feel. And so you know, it took me many years to get to the place I’m at now. Take care of you and be kind to others. Life is a journey.
Hello I just found your channel When a video of yours showed up in my suggested videos. I'm so glad I did find your channel. I am a special needs momma and while my son was not deaf we did use asl when he was little until he started talking at the age of 5. He has autism pdd nos and ocd. My son is a aďult now in his early 20's doing amazing he graduated highschool with honors and now is a manager at a factory. Now in my eay 40's the a I find myself dealing with my health sturggles, all heart related. I just want to say I enjoy your videos and started from the begining to watch them and learn about you and your beautiful son. Your a amazing mama and Cooper is so lucky and blessed to have you as his momma as you are lucky and blessed to have him as your son. I wish everything good and great for your family. I look forward to following along on your journey and showing respect, love and cheering you on from here on sidelines (comment section) Thank you for choosing to share your beautiful boy and wisdom you have with us here. Much love and respect💖 Kalena
As hard as that was for you guys, and all the struggles youve had, and hurdles you've overcome, Im grateful for your experience. The world needs you and Coop and the knowledge you spread and the joy and pain you share. Your journey is invaluable to those beginning this process like you guys did. Sending you all love and strength and light💝🌞
Your wisdom gained from experience is SO important to share. And important not only for Moms and Dads of babies who have been diagnosed with hearing loss, but also those who’ve received diagnoses of all kinds for their newborns-diagnoses that have come out of nowhere and left them heartbroken, terrified and reeling. You have so much to give to them to help them on their journey-a journey that, like you, they didn’t plan on and never expected to have to make. Never underestimate what a blessing you will be to them, Beth! 💪🏻💪🏻❤️ (And thanks too for sharing your precious boy with all of us. How could we NOT fall in love with him, too? ☺️💕)
I stumbled upon your channel few days ago I can't stop watching your videos! You said great stuff here! ❤ Cooper is a blessing, such a wonderfull child! He just radiates all the beautifull feelings! And it is all because of you! Thank you for giving him the love that he deserves! I am also a mom and I see how kids are vulnerable - my heart breaks when I think that some kids don't get what they deserve. So it is such a releif and blessing to see that a child gets all that love and great lessons that will make him great man someday! I wish you guys all the best! This concept of vloging is so wierd- for you we are maybe just numbers and usernames, but for us you are a person that has opened her heart and we love what we saw! We look at you as a dear friend, even though we never met! ❤
You never had to worry. It’s part of him and your family, and as a hearing parent, you are doing so well. Especially compared to people who send their kids off to deaf birding schools. ❤ 🤟🏻
I love Your’s and Coop’s channel Beth! Your content truly makes me SMILE 😊 all the time. He’s so cute. And you are such a great mom. I have 3 older children (10-13-15) with their own varieties of challenges, but it’s a breath of fresh air not to have it presented as all sad gloom to have kids that are different. You highlight the importance of being present, and educated, but also being light hearted… most of the time which is the best any of us can do. I’m also quite curious about your PostPart fitness. It looks like you’re a lifter. Could you maybe share a bit about that? Mom care and getting strong 💪 is I think another important piece to being able to handle the rest. Please and thank you!
You will never know how much I needed this video the day you posted it because I felt like you were taking directly to me. (Took me some time to comment) I'm a a new parent with a 4 month old. We're not profound, but moderate severe hearing loss diagnosed at 5 weeks. We got his hearing aids the week you posted this. You hit every emotion in me that no one can understand. All three of these have had me in tears over and over. Thank you for this. I love your journey and follow you daily. You're such an inspiration to me ❤️
I'm a new follower and love seeing videos of Cooper. He is such a bright amazing kid. I think Cooper was given to you because he needed a strong mom and family to give him the future he will have. I think you are an amazing mom to Cooper. I think not only is Cooper your blessing but also you're Cooper's blessing. keep your crown on your head mom because you are truly doing an amazing job. I hope nothing I said was offensive to you. I just wanted to tell you I think you are amazing.
You guys are great. Your child is fortunate to have such dedicated parents. As parents of a child with a life and death condition, others have no idea what parents of children with challenges go through. I was compelled to respond after I read your response to people who thought you were loaded. What difference does that make to anything. Hopefully, they weren’t too rude. Personally, I would just ignore them.
My heart reaches out to you - not only in understanding of the shock but, especially, for the truly wonderful human you are, and the amazing role that you have been called to play in your precious little boy's life. So much is already evident in his amazing, multi-faceted personality. I hope that you pause every now and then, to reflect on your beautiful and immeasurable contribution to Coop's life, and how your book and your videos will carry that out in the world. Thank you for that, and thank you for always being so real - you make a very real difference in this world...🙏🏻⚘❤
At my son's 6 week check up, he had badly infected ears, I felt guilty I didn't know, our doctor was wonderful in convincing my I couldn't have known. Fir the next 9 months we were back and forth with non stop ear infections. At 10 months they had him in for hearing screenings, I can not forget the sinking feeling I had when the monkey, with the cymbals, in the corner of the booth was making noise and my son didn't react. I remember the fear at that point, because my hubby was hearing impaired, unknown the actual cause. Fortunately with tubes he was able to hear better. He has been in speech therapy since 4K, and now is 16, and only going 1x/month.
I've watched your journey on CZcams, and, granted, that's far from knowing you, but I am SO proud of you, Brandon, Cooper and the village the rallied around your family of three. You are a very special person who has an amazing way with words. I admire you for what you've done, what you're doing, and what you'll continue to do. Thank you for educating us and giving us a glimpse into your life. Thank you even more for being there for families who are going through this and experiences like this, not only to give them a voice, but to let them know they're not alone even in their darkest thoughts and days. Thank you for sharing that feeling guilt doesn't make you wrong or bad, it's actually creates a new space for you to learn and evolve to make yourself better and helps your children flourish and fly without limits. I personally don't have children (yet), but I work with a young girl with autism and she's changed my life and how I approach people and life in general. I can't imagine how you feel ❤️ Good job, girl. Keep up the good work and don't forget to take time for yourself too!
I am always in awe of your courage and honesty and the vulnerability you share with us! I am truly grateful to have found you here and to be able to learn from you. You are an amazing mama and, I feel like we all need to take a minute to appreciate how incredibly beautiful you are! No wonder Coop is such a little cutie! I love to see you two interacting, as it’s such a very clear special bond you’ve both created, with so much love and grace as you navigate this unexpected journey together. I absolutely agree with what you said about how even if Coop had never been able to hear you say “I love you” he would still know because he can feel it. ❤️ I’m totally loving the “why we’re pulled over on the side of the road today” shorts, btw! That last one where Coop just needed a hug made me both laugh and cry, and I loved that you climbed back there to give him what he wanted and needed. You two are so special!
Do not take fear away from new parents. It’s real and needs to be experienced. You are doing exactly what they need to see and that fear can be overcome. That is part of what makes you the strongest advocate for your child/children.
I don't know if you will see this but I saw one of your videos today for the first time and thought cooper was so cute and I've been watching your videos all day.🙂
Hi Beth. I have a question--prefaced by this is pure curiosity and I do not have children but plan to in the next few years and am thinking about whether or not it's really ethical for me to want to be a parent because: I really hope that any child I have is neurotypical and healthy and that their life is uncomplicated. Is that wrong of me? As someone who isn't exactly neurotypical but is relatively healthy (physically), I would never wish my mental health diagnoses on anyone. I have major depression and have been diagnosed with anxiety since I was 9. I never want my children to experience that. Ever. I would do anything I could to prevent that. Anything. Not that my life isn't worth living, but it's not optimal either. Does that make sense? Sorry for asking, but I just don't know who to talk to about it and I don't wanna be rude or ignorant.
And obviously being neurodivergent can look many different ways, but this is purely from my own experience. It would not have benefited from a more supportive society simply because so much of it was bound up in all of the little interactions with my parents and day-to-day moments or watching a movie and it having a profound impact on me for a while or reading a book and I couldn't stop sobbing because I'd been not feeling for so long and finally I was letting it out. Or learning to never cry too loudly because then my parents might be mad that I was up or I'd been reading or I just couldn't sleep. I have good parents. But their own mental health definitely negatively impacted my childhood.
Long story short with my first I was so worried and concerned that I was going to pass on the cleft palate genetics that they really didn’t focus on much of anything else during ultrasounds. They couldn’t tell us if she had a cleft palate but they could tell us that she didn’t have the cleft hair lip. We were incredibly thankful and relieved when they told us yes she does have a very small and minute cleft palate but it’s part of her soft palate so it most likely won’t affect her suction and will only be a small one time repair. However, the focus on that nearly ended her life at 5yo because on every ultrasound, every new born exam, etc made everyone miss the telling signs that she was also born with stage 5 bladder reflux and an extra ureter tube on the left kidney and bladder. 6 weeks after she started kindergarten she went to use the bathroom after getting up for school and let out this blood curdling scream I will never forget and when I looked in the toilet all I saw was blood mixed with white puss discharge. I was also 7 months pregnant with my son. I rushed her to pediatric and they sent us over for an emergency vcug. I knew when they had me stand in the office behind a protective wall where I could see every image as they had her pee out the dye that the dye should not be going back up into her kidneys and that we don’t have 3 ureter tubes. So my heart sank when they told me they were paging an emergency pediatric surgeon to come talk to us. He basically told us had we not caught this now she probably would have had maybe a couple more weeks before she went into acute kidney failure and we would have been planning her funeral. So that following day it was off to an emergency bladder surgery at the children’s hospital an hour and 20 minutes from home, I was 7 months pregnant and thankfully my mom was able to take off a few days of work to be with us or I don’t think I would have gotten through it. There was no way my husband could make it home in time for the surgery at such a late notice and had he taken any time off work he didn’t get paid for those days so I told him to just stay and work as we were going to need the funds for medical bills, trips, supplies, medications, etc. That was the scariest time of our lives and the most difficult as I felt like such a failure because I was so concerned and worried that I would pass the cleft palate on to one or both kids and I felt like that hyper focus is the reason they missed the bladder reflux during my pregnancy.
To the Beth & Coop please give a try and read-learn about blair hill (napoleon hills son) at : Think and grow rich book there is a "story" of him that i think you need to know guys,i hope that i will help even a little bit! :)

It would not have benefited from a more supportive society simply because so much of it was bound up in all of the little interactions with my parents and day-to-day moments or watching a movie and it having a profound impact on me for a while or reading a book and I couldn't stop sobbing because I'd been not feeling for so long and finally I was letting it out. Or learning to never cry too loudly because then my parents might be mad that I was up or I'd been reading or I just couldn't sleep. I have good parents. But their own mental health definitely negatively impacted my childhood.
Hes face looks also not ok whats that for a desease ...............wtf
Long story short with my first I was so worried and concerned that I was going to pass on the cleft palate genetics that they really didn’t focus on much of anything else during ultrasounds. They couldn’t tell us if she had a cleft palate but they could tell us that she didn’t have the cleft hair lip. We were incredibly thankful and relieved when they told us yes she does have a very small and minute cleft palate but it’s part of her soft palate so it most likely won’t affect her suction and will only be a small one time repair. However, the focus on that nearly ended her life at 5yo because on every ultrasound, every new born exam, etc made everyone miss the telling signs that she was also born with stage 5 bladder reflux and an extra ureter tube on the left kidney and bladder. 6 weeks after she started kindergarten she went to use the bathroom after getting up for school and let out this blood curdling scream I will never forget and when I looked in the toilet all I saw was blood mixed with white puss discharge. I was also 7 months pregnant with my son. I rushed her to pediatric and they sent us over for an emergency vcug. I knew when they had me stand in the office behind a protective wall where I could see every image as they had her pee out the dye that the dye should not be going back up into her kidneys and that we don’t have 3 ureter tubes. So my heart sank when they told me they were paging an emergency pediatric surgeon to come talk to us. He basically told us had we not caught this now she probably would have had maybe a couple more weeks before she went into acute kidney failure and we would have been planning her funeral. So that following day it was off to an emergency bladder surgery at the children’s hospital an hour and 20 minutes from home, I was 7 months pregnant and thankfully my mom was able to take off a few days of work to be with us or I don’t think I would have gotten through it. There was no way my husband could make it home in time for the surgery at such a late notice and had he taken any time off work he didn’t get paid for those days so I told him to just stay and work as we were going to need the funds for medical bills, trips, supplies, medications, etc. That was the scariest time of our lives and the most difficult as I felt like such a failure because I was so concerned and worried that I would pass the cleft palate on to one or both kids and I felt like that hyper focus is the reason they missed the bladder reflux during my pregnancy.
