I was reading the blog overview and I noticed an error...unfortunately I don't know how to edit the overview :S

Anyway, I posted that Audrey has Moderately-Severe hearing loss. I'm not quite sure who told me that she had moderately severe hearing loss...maybe my GP's receptionist.

To be clear, Audrey has Moderate to Profound hearing loss :)

no news is good news

Gee, it has been a while since my last post. I've had a few moments when I've thought that I should post but I feel like I should only post when there is something interesting going on. And, really, there isn't much going on.

Audrey had another audiogram and her hearing loss is still the same as her last: moderate-profound. Good news!

Audrey is doing very well in school. So well that the teacher who comes to work with us at home will only be coming bi-weekly. This is a very good thing, but I feel sad too. I LOVE this teacher. She is such an incredible woman; so inspiring.

We will be having an ASL teacher come to our home to teach us to sign! I'm so excited! I just hope that this teacher knows what he's in for! We're a house of chaos and some of his students will be quite defiant (my kids, not me! hehe).

New stage?

I'm thinking that perhaps I've entered a new stage. The other day I was talking to an Investment Advisor about opening a RDSP (registered disability savings plan) and I needed to share the details of Audrey's disability. The lady kept saying "I'm so sorry" or "oh wow :(" or "oh gee :(". I felt like saying "Don't feel bad for her. Don't pity her. Just open the effing account!" lol. 

Obviously, I have moments when I wish that she wasn't a deaf girl. But, for the first time, I actually was surprised by the pity that I was receiving (or pity for Audrey).

:)

Audrey - Mama, I had a dream about my hearing aids

Me - Oh ya?

Audrey - Ya. and I just love them! I didn't love them when Mary was putting them in my ears but that was because I didn't know them then. Now I love them.



ahhhhhhhh :D
