There's a ways to go with adjustments and such. She did hear me voice and dh's AND she heard her name for the first time. She even tried to say it! She also said bye, bye, Papa, pingua (apple in Chinese).
She now has another world to explore! In 10 days we will go back for frequency adjusting. These hearing aids can hook into FM devices to a speech teacher can speak directly with her. It can also be hooked to a phone, music, computer. This is quite exciting.
When all my girls got home form school today they had a lot of fun interacting with her. It was a great day.
I need to cut this short, I am on night duty tonight, and I'm on duty tomorrow at a 10K run until 2:00, then we are having a family foto taken, then to friends for a BBQ and older daughter off to a party. Which is also where she is tonight. At a b-day party sleep over.
Regarding those papers that Immigration messed up at the airport... everything was being tracked and processed until today. I got two letters saying since both my daughters are over 14 they have to go to the local Homeland Security office and be sworn in! NEITHER are 14 years old. Here we go again!
How wonderful!! So excited for her!!!

Oh Kathleen, how very exciting!! I can only imagine her joy at hearing sounds. I once watched a video of a little boy from China, as he heard his first sounds with hearing aids. Oh goodness, the joy in his face, the delight!! I can only picture your daughter feeling the same way.

ReplyDeleteWe are still battling with out 16 year old citizenship papers and we have been home for 17 months. Good Luck!
Yeah!! That is great!
ReplyDeleteWonderful on the hearing! Just take a copy of the girls passports and send them to the place the letter came from with a note explaining they were NOT 14 when they entered the USA and you will get their certificate of citizenship. Same thing happened to us:)
ReplyDeleteThat's Awesome! Soooo excited for her!
