About Me

My photo
I am just a mom: a mom of three kids and one of them is hearing impaired. We are a busy family and I am a very busy mom. I want my hearing impaired daughter, Brooke, to have every advantage so I try to incorporate as many lessons and strategies into our every day life. Most of the teaching I do with Brooke is incorporated into our daily routines and parent-directed play. This blog will include some of our formal lessons but mostly it will be learning to listen in the everyday.

Post Surgery

 Brooke came out of surgery doing great.  She had a little nausea but nothing like the first time around.  She was in pain and the nurse gave her some pain melds through the IV.  Only one parent was allowed into recovery at a time so Scott and I took turns.

 Once she drank and ate some food...we moved to another room where we got her dressed.  The nurse wanted her to empty her bladder before we were allowed to leave.  We were given 2 prescriptions:  one for an antibiotic and one for Tylenol with codeine.  Scott went to get the car and Brooke and I waited to get picked up at the entrance of the Women's Hospital.

In the car for the 4 hour drive home.  I was expecting Brooke to sleep but she stayed awake the entire trip.  We had a couple bathroom stops and at one gas station she wanted to eat Oreo Cakester.....she ate the whole thing.  She complained quite a bit about the bandage but that was the only complaint!
