22 Month LIDiversary.

Since my LID date is on the 22nd, does this make it my Golden LIDiversary? Anyway, I'm starting to believe I'll never get a referral and even if I do, that I won't have the funds to complete the rest of the adoption. I may feel better tomorrow. It's definitely a rollercoaster of emotions. One day up, the next down, then back up again.

Anna's Question

Last night Anna asked me "How do you make it so you don't have to wear hearing aids? I don't want to wear them anymore when I'm a grown up."

She's only asked or made reference once or twice before as to why she has to wear hearing aids and most people don't. We had a discussion on technology and how they are working on implantable hearing aids (same concept as a pacemaker) and how they're working on trying to figure out how to make ears work (regrowing the hairs on the cochlea). And I told her they may have it all figured out by the time she's a grown up. Or, at the very least if she wants, she can have the little ones that go inside the ear canal. She seemed more concerned right now that her cute swirly-colored earmolds with colorful beads on them might not be what she wants when she's older.

UGH! Computers!

My home computer is refusing to talk to the internet. Hopefully I'll get it all worked out one of these days and be able to post first day of school pictures.
