    Shoshie's Story

    Shoshana Mae Turner arrived 2.5 weeks early on 9 August 2018. She failed the newborn hearing screening twice. The first screening, in the early hours towards the end of our first night at the hospital. The nurse said it was probably nothing and I didn’t think about it again. The second time Shoshie failed the screening she was two two weeks old and Dan was concerned as he’d noticed she hadn’t responded to a loud alarm at the hospital the day after she was born.
