Hearing checks and new headbands...

The kids had their hearing checks yesterday and both had some more loss...well, it was nice to have last week off, anyway. :-) We've made our first appointment to start the intensive hearing/speech evaluations necessary in preparation for the CI...it's nice to feel like we are making progress on the "ready to implant" checklist. Today's picture is of Abigail with her first 'real' headband...isn't she pretty? (We even found some that are elasticized fabric, so they don't get in the way of her hearing aids like the hard ones do!) Her hair is getting so long and it's nice to find new ways to arrange it. I was messing around with it this weekend, thinking ahead to her Uncle Jared and Aunt Krystle's wedding in May (she is the flower girl), and it's so much fun to be able to think about up-dos and curls and all of those girlie things!

What make are their hearing aids? Is there a history of deqafness in your family?

I would be happy to answer any and all questions -- but may I ask who's asking? Thanks!
