Emergency Vehicle Expert + CI Work Up

Car-car-

After 2 nights of working on these art pieces before falling asleep, you declared they were done this morning. You said you were learning about fire safety at school and thought your drawings of a monster fire truck, police car, and ambulance would be helpful during circle time.

Another parent thought it was so adorable, she posted this picture on facebook for all the other parents to see.

On Tuesday - we had our long day of doctor appointments in preparation for your CI surgery. You were wonderful of course sitting through - a 3 hour audiology appointment, a speech appointment, and ENT appointment. (You fell asleep within minutes of getting in the car on our way home.) All testing results are pointing towards you really benefiting from a CI in your right ear. So I think we are ready to take the plunge as soon as we can get approval from insurance. 

The CI is really cool and it's pretty remarkable to think this spring you'll probably hear birds, wind, and whispers for the first time...and get to hear while swimming or even taking a shower. I'm not quite sure you are grasping it all- at this point- but you don't seem too apprehensive either.  Plus - who doesn't want to be able to put a fork on their head, right?

Pictures you took while Daddy and I were picking out which device to get you - 
New CI Audiologist - Dr. Jourdan - you have a total crush - 
 

We ate lunch in the Vandy cafeteria - where we saw lots of doctors and nurses...and you ate a whole orange. 


We're excited to start this new adventure with you. 

Love you, 

Mommy
