Close Call!

hole in one!

After a heartbreaking accident last year when the little guy's hearing aid slipped out of my hand and into the waiting tub (left it to dry out for 2 days and it was fine). I'm super careful and take them off away from the awaiting bath. The other day though it fell out of my hand and slid across the bathroom floor. What are the chances that it would have slipped through the small hole where the pipes are? I wouldn't have thought they were very good. In a panic I got a flashlight and a hammer, with every intention of ripping up the floor to retrieve this little device that makes all the difference. I removed one small board and realizing it slipped way down. I thought it was all over until I realized why I was seeing little bits of light. I have never been so grateful for the horrible drop ceiling we have in the kitchen! I ran down, got a ladder and found it easily. Crisis and panic over! Phew!

oh little one life with you is one great adventure!

Big thanks to Jen over on Olive Street Studio for sending some Sunshine my way. What a wonderful bloggity friend. I'm hoping for some great things to come her way and very much appreciate her thoughts.

Today was a sunshiny day. I started off by having little guy try out his hearing aids. I didn't want to fuss him up by putting both in (I'm new at putting them in so it takes some wiggling on my part) so we began with one. This lasted 26 minutes (I'm logging my time). Not too bad. We were out and about in the car so he did not have them on (I can't keep him from touching them while I'm driving) until we got home. I put the other one in by itself and this lasted 53 minutes.  A few hours later I took the plunge and got them both in. This lasted....

3 Hours 25 Minutes!!!! 

Wow! I am so freaking excited about this. I only took them off because it was bath night and I wasn't going to have him watch the bath fill up with them on. When I called my husband to tell him he sounded almost tearful. We just want this to work out so badly. The volume is set really low and the Audiologist told me she would adjust this in 2-3 weeks. Hopefully it will be more like 2 weeks. The next adjustment won't be full volume either.

They are really hard to see (he does need a haircut though) and the ear molds are clear.

 I actually had to go over and touch the sides of his head to be sure they were still there. (and they were!) 

Yay Little Guy!
