Hello and welcome to Alldeaf tiredmom31! I admire the courage you have as you're trying the best you can, but don't ever give up hope! It'll take some time to learn ASL and eventually you'll look back to this day and chuckle about how it was.

Since you mentioned that you were HoH before losing your hearing altogether, are you able to lip-read at all? If so, that is indeed very helpful as well. I sure do wish you the very best, your daughters and school. Hope you'll enjoy your stay here in AD as well!
