Audiology

Emily went to the Audiologist today for testing and to get new molds for her hearing aids made. She wasn't happy about it, for some crazy reason so I found if I told her I would take pictures for our blog she was a lot easier to work with!

She thinks she looks like an alien with the tubes sticking out of her ears! She is a very cute alien of course!

Emily has lost some more hearing in her left ear so we will be testing her more often to make sure she doesn't continue to lose anymore. If we lived anywhere else, she would have a cochlear implant by now, but we have decided to stop fighting for it because new and improved products are coming out in the near future that may end up being better than ever before!

The pink stuff hardens in about 3-5 minutes. They are then sent to the lab for custom made molds to be made, just for Emily! This time she picked purple, gold and silver sparkles! She loves sparkles!(I am so grateful since she could have chosen Tye-dye!)

Remember Em, you said grandpa could have your old molds, even though you said they would look a little "girly" you are so brave!!!! your mom takes such good care of you, she always makes sure you get the best care. Way to go Jill, it gives me great comfort and peace that Emily has such great parents and siblings. I love you all soooooo much!!!
