I often get messages from parents who recently found out that their child is CMV+/deaf/microcephalic, & my heart breaks each & every time. It’s hard to hear their stories, I understand their pain & the struggles they’re going through. I vividly remember being in their shoes at the beginning of our journey. •I remember going into the MFMs office for an ultrasound at 27 weeks. The ultrasound tech focused on his brain, it felt like an eternity , but in reality it was probably about 20-30 minutes purely on his brain. The doctor came in & told me he had mild ventriculomegaly. Told me everything else looked great, & not to worry. I did though, & suddenly my entire world turned upside down. From that moment, I didn’t sleep. I googled most of the time looking for answers, answers that never seemed to have a happy ending. •I remember Malakais 2 month check up, his PCP checked his head 3 times, & then explained to me that he had microcephaly. I said I was ok,
