Kieran the night before he got his new hearing aides. He looks SO incredibly grown up!
It's been a week and a half that Kieran received his first pair of hearing aides. If we would have known how much he would have reacted we would have taken a video of it. His head jerked around and his eyes got really big and he looked all over the room and responded to his audiologist calling his name when he wasn't looking.
We couldn't be more pleased as well. He doesn't try to take them off and gets upset when you take them out for nap or bedtime. He has been using his words more instead of whining at us to get him water or whatever he is needing. He actually already sounds more articulate.
We are so thankful that he is transitioning so well with them. We pray that his makes a big difference for him, that he can hear better and be able to communicate with us too. He seems happier and more smiley and that is priceless:)
I will post pictures at a later date with him wearing them. This moving to a new town, working full time and balancing two kids in services is exhausting and takes up a lot of time. I am not able to blog like I used to. Svea is in speech now too and will see a speech path two times a week on top of Kieran's two times. Thank goodness they overlap on one day so Tuesday-Thursday we have teachers coming in or we are bringing Svea to the school. We'll get through it. We are just taking one day at a time:) We have so much to be thankful for.
As you can see they are not too big. Obviously you know they are there, but I don't think they distract you from his cute little face:) Kieran's thought process......Now, should I use Mom or Dad's toothbrush to throw in my mouth and then drag across the floor/maybe brush the cat with???
