Quickies

• Brook got a new rabbit since her's died. It is black and its name is Blackie....we are very creative!
• I'm back at the gym trying to complete 60 miles in 30 days ( a local challenge ) and I'm sitting at 27.5 miles with 18 days to go...shouldn't be a problem.
• Cochlear has tried to contact me twice about my last blog post to make sure Gman is doing fine. I did email them to assure them he's fine and I don't think the clicking sound was related to a failure.
• Gman did wake with pain on the other ci-side once this week but he simply removed the processor for most of the day and he was back to "normal" in no time.
• School is going okay. Gman is finding out the hard way that he DOES need to do homework and he DOES need to study or he won't make good grades. And Brook is finding out the hard way that you MUST keep quiet, and behave or you'll be sitting by yourself at lunch. But both are doing well otherwise.

Cochlear Recall

So around September 1st or 2nd, Gage came home with only one processor on. He was missing his right and when I asked him why he removed it, he said, "Because it was clicking." Okay, so I put it in the machine, and it hasn't done it since. It could have simply been something in the room, he was only hearing it on the right side though so who knows.? So I never mentioned it to anyone other than his audiologist last week. She checked him out good and said everything looked fine.

Of course, it's been all over the web this week about the Cochlear recall on that device he's wearing on that particular ear. So naturally I'm a little nervous. But again, he's not had any weird sounds since. He just got that device last year after a Freedom failure so we're hoping it was a fluke and all seems well now.

Both kids are doing fine, if HE will do his homework and if SHE will behave. She's done really well up until this week so I'm hoping it's just a bad week.

And lack of new photos are because I still have no camera. I haven't bought one!!

So here are some from cheerleading I took w/my cell so sorry.

Brook and all her cheer buddies

No more ear tune ups for my kids!!

That's right. I've made an executive decision to not take my kids in for MAPping anymore! No more ear tune ups!

Apparently I sound much better when I sing pre-tune up since no one makes fun of me, shames me in public or shakes their head angrily at me BEFORE we go to audiology.

Afterwards however, this is what I get...

...and this is when I was singing just like Beyonce. Nope, no more ear tune ups if they make me sound this bad...
