Hearing aid update

I thought I would do a quick update on how Riley is doing with her hearing aids.  We have had them since March and it is amazing how much it has made a difference in her language.  She still does.  She doesn't have words and probable won't for another year, but she has more sounds now.  And plays with them more.  Now if she is on the floor by herself or in her carseat she just starts babbling.  It is quite funny.  She is more alert now.

I have been quite pleased that she had not been pulling them out like I thought she would.  She has recently being pulling them out but that is because they have not been fitting correctly.  When they are in correctly she doesn't mess with them at all.  We had them readjusted when we were in the hospital to have her trach removed.  But she has not been wearing them since because while she was in the hospital they checked to make there was no fluid in her ears.  To do this the ENT put a little cut in her ear drums.  She would let us put the hearing aids in but as soon as you turned them on seh would cry.  So I think her ears hurt.  We will give it a couple more days than put them back in.

So there is the update on the hearing aids.  If any one has questions about them let me know.
