In November 2025, Leroy was diagnosed with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Following an MRI, his doctors determined that his hearing loss, hypotonia, balance issues, and gross motor delays are all attributed to congenital CMV (Cytomegalovirus). Like so many others, I had never heard of CMV until it affected our family. However, after learning more, it "checked so many boxes"—including the risk factors of having a younger sibling in childcare and both Jeff and me working in education.
Leroy has been a true rock star through the endless appointments and therapies that have dominated our lives these past few months. He is adjusting wonderfully to his hearing aids, and while we have seen so much growth already, we know there is still a long road ahead. I am choosing to raise money and awareness for CMV so that other families can be informed, stay proactive, and advocate for testing.
