Deaf Mama Sews

Surgery and recovery went really well!! it's amazing how fast a month goes by with six kids, dog and cat. Summer has been in session almost three weeks now and the girls are loving it! We've been to the pool, had some great fun days playing basket ball, doing artwork and whatever else they can think up.

Ash has returned from her trip to Fort Knox for the JROTC program. The girl is just amazing in her strength and ability to overcome obstacles as her recent trip proved. I'm grateful to have her back home safe and sound but I know it won't be to much longer before she's craving some serious challenges again. What a great kid!!

So today was my big day to finally program my processor in order to hear with the implant! I was very nervous things wouldn't go well. I was hearing words all day!! Lots of new noises, sneezes, giggles, talking, plastic rustling, velcro ripping, water running, birds singing, dog eating, people walking, flip flops flopping, heels tapping, click clacking, doors closing, etc... Things sound strange, loud, mechanical, robotic. With all that said.. they have sounds. How amazing!! I absolutely could understand almost every word spoken to me all day. Only a few times did I have to revert to the old "huh, what did you say" and that in itself is a miricle!!

Today I'll wear the processor again.. for a while I will still be getting accustommed to the whole new world of sound. I am in awe of it all!!
