Smith Home

Mialee informed me this morning that she loves Nathan and wants to keep him. They are getting along well these days. She loves to lay down by him and make him smile. When she decides she is done and walks away, he cries. Yesterday while Mialee and I were in the kitchen and Nathan was on the couch, he started fussing and Mialee said to me, "go give him his na-na(binkey) please." Too funny.

Nathan has been fitted for hearing aids. Monday the 27th he meets with an Ears Nose and Throat specialist who will clear him for hearing aids. Then when the hearing aids are done, we go pick them up. I met with CCS today and unfortunately for the next year we will have to drive to Ventura for all appointments with the audiologist. SLO hopes to be set up to handle hard of hearing babies by 2007. The audiologist said we can do most of our appointments by mail. That will be nice. Hopefully in March we will have some hearing aids on this kid.

Sorry that you have to fight the beaurocracy (sp?) Rebecca but I am sure your son will appreciate all the you are doing for him later in life when he is able to hear and speak due to your early intervention. Kudos to you Mom. I am also glad that Mialee loves her brother. Its always tough bringing the newest baby home and during the transition. When they finally accept it, its time to think about the next baby....LOL! Kidding.
