Ears

Today the kids had their hearing screens. Great news is they hear great and their ears are great!
The appointment was so cool. They first took a picture of both ears. This would show if there is any fluid or pressure build up. Luckily, no one had either! The second step, they put little ear phones into the ear canal, and then noise is transmitted through, this then shows on the computer the hairs moving in their ears. This shows if you can hear and how well. Isn't that so awesome? The coolest thing was when Gracie was up the lady had not start the sound but Brody started fussing and we could see that she was hearing her brother and how well she heard him. So neat!
In other news, Gracie will get her cranial helmet on Friday. We were not sure she would get it and thought the process would have to start over due to the clinics mistake but after a long conversation with the CEO, all is settled and my little love will be even cuter come Friday afternoon :) I really don't know why companies don't do the right thing the first time but it makes life so much more stressful... jeez!
Tomorrow we have triple therapy, Thursday Gracie has her Genetics appointment, Friday she has her head ultrasound, helmet fitting, and PT has to make up her appointment, and Saturday we are out of town for the first "road trip". Wish us luck :)
Oh and let me not forget, Madi has her first tooth coming in. Poor thing is miserable. We couldn't figure out why she was so fussy and not wanting to nap but we understood very quickly when our neighbor pointed out the tooth bubble. You can feel it coming through. Anyway, she has been very clingy the past couple days, we can't put her down without her screaming but all is well. After all, she has to be first at everything since she was born last ;)
