Perks of the Internet




So several years ago I was contacted by the founder of STOP CMV
and we immediately became friends
and after several years we FINALLY met last week
she flew in from San Fran for another CMV mommy
who lives in WVC whose daughter was turning 16
and they had a big swim bash party for
so during this little shin dig I had the rare
and very SPECIAL opportunity to meet 4 women
whom I admire and look up to, whom I share a lot with,
inspirational. . . Janelle, Sharon and Shannon and Diana.
4 incredible mothers all on the same mission
+ me and my little Savanah on the mission to Stop CMV
but this night it was all about FROG's (Fully Rely on God) sweet 16!
And it was a blast.
Amazing women I have in my life
all because of the internet.

Testing 1. . . 2. . .3

Savanah had another great mapping appointment.
But something weird happened.
For the past 6 months she has been wearing a hearing aid on her right ear
and for some reason Desmond and I both "think" we can tell when she has it in and does not have it in. . .
We have thought it was benefiting her.

After Cache did all of her testing
we learned something interesting.
She did better on her audiogram without her hearing aid in her ear
So. . .
we were left to question the hearing aid.

She has lost some more hearing in her right ear.
A progressive loss, so who knows. . . it may be time for another cochlear implant in the next year or so.

All we can do is keep observing.
But yay for Savanah and keeping her cool for the 3 1/2 hours!

It's that time of the year again. . .

Mapping time.
So Logan here we come.
We're making it a girls trip with Grandma.
Swimming.
The Beehive Grill.
The scenery.
More swimming, I'm sure.
Free Waffles in the morn.
Maddox.

And last but certainly MOST important. . .
A PERFECT AUDIOGRAM!
(Here's to hoping!)

Babysitter Instructions per Savanah

Yesterday Savanah was playing pretend.
She was the daddy of a baby. And Gracen was kinda the mommy.
The mommy who was definitely not interested in being a mom.
Anyway, Savanah the dad was going to drop the baby off for 5 weeks with Grandma.
And Grandma was to take care of it and by Savanah's rules.

Here they go.
"Change her diaper ten times"
"Give her lots of milk"
"And fishgolds"
"She can't walk so she's has to crawl"
"Rock her"
"I will have you raise her"

Good thing it's going to be awhile before Savanah babysits
or has her own. And someone please tell me where I can buy some "fishgolds"!
