They have been talking about closing it for a while now. I am not sure of a date. The preschool program will continue from what I understand. We plan to look into all of that. Her CSB worker is looking into it for me.

Surgery went very well. We have had a few bumpy spots to overcome. Ashley has refused to drink anything from a bottle. The bottle was her best friend. She will not take anything from a sippy cup. I have to make her take sips of juice. Milk is a real no no. She was sick after from the anesthesia...

The school sent an orientation mobility specialists to the house to evaluate Ashley on how well she gets around. This was to see if she needed any special training. With her glasses she sees about a foot or more depending on what she is looking at. Without it is about 6 to 8 inches. She does...

Well, we go to the audi tomorrow. She will be doing a re-map for her first implant and checking Ashley's ears to make sure they look good. We had new programs put on her implant and when we got home I discovered a short in her coil wire. She hated the new map. Her audi wants to check it just to...

Thanks for all of the support. We are getting excited. We had her left ear tested to make sure there was no change in her hearing. It was the same. She can get 80 to 90 db all low tones. She had no response to high tones at all. We will be getting the new inside and new processor from Med-El...

Yes, that is a big part of why the decision was made. She has made such great progress with the first implant. Her loss is severe in her left and it was severe to profound in the right. She has had hearing aids for almost 2 years. She has never shown any signs of benefit from them. She did not...

Ashley came to me upset the other day. I kept looking trying to figure out what the problem was. I then noticed her magnet dangling behind her. I put it back on for her and she went back to playing. A little bit later she came to me again. She took my hand and put it on her dangling magnet...

Just wanted to share the great news. Ashley has been found a candidate for her second implant. Her doc called this morning to set a date. We are scheduled for Feb. 13. We still need to go to the audi appointment tomorrow. This is more for my benefit than theirs. I requested another test to be...

My daughter is in a mainstream preschool program. She has a hearing impaired teacher that comes to her class 2 times a week for 30 mins and works with her. Her teacher happens to be deaf and has an interpreter with her. She is teaching sign and oral to Ashely. If the parent stresses the...

Her vision is OK. She has peripheral problems and runs into things on her sides sometimes.Her lenses are so thick they distort things to the side. She has been in AVT therapy for over a year now. She started that 3 months before she was implanted. I have made sure that her school as well as her...

Thanks. I am very proud of her.

Thanks. She is 19 pounds of attitude. She is a feisty one for sure. We wouldn't have her any other way though.

Thanks!! I will.

Her dhh teacher and her vision teacher are from the special education department for public schools. They go from school to school to work with kids. She is progressing nicely now as far as developmental. She went from 8- 9 months to 12-13 months in 6 months. Some skills are higher. She went...

let me see here. Her teachers are from the special education team that works with the school. Her TOD is deaf and has an interpreter with her. She has been doing well with her so far. All of her teachers say she is starting to adjust to being away from mom better. She loves to play the mimic...

Thank you I am very proud of her. She is such a blessing.

I have tried to stay on top of things for her. She can't advocate for herself so it is up to me to make sure she gets the services she needs. They are out there you just have to find them and take advantage of all that are available. She has been a fighter from day one. She came into this world...

She is not able to attend the deaf blind school until age 3. The people that did her IEP sent in her recommendation to them so we can get the ball rolling early. She attends a mainstream elementary school. She is in a program for children with developmental delays. She gets vision services and...

Thanks to all. I have been pretty busy. Ashley has started preschool. She has had good days and bad days. We are also waiting to hear from her doc on her second implant. With her vision problems we feel that the second implant will help her at school with localization. She tends to get nervous...

Thank You. Hope you have an enjoyable Christmas too.
