Hearing aid

On Thursday, Grace got her hearing aid! They did a whole hearing test so they could program the device to her exact needs. The inner ear test shows that she hears fine on that end. So the aid amplifies the sound so it can reach the inner ear.

She noticed new sounds right away, and she played around with her voice in the car ride home. She still asks us to repeat ourselves, but a lot less than when she doesn't have the aid in.

Day +456

Here's a quick update. Grace has some virus that she's fighting off and she gave it to me, too.

In medical news, she had a checkup and echocardiogram on Tuesday and all that looks good. So far we haven't observed anything noticeable, either good or bad. She got fitted for a hearing aid, and after much debate picked blue, pink, and red. That will be ready at the end of the month. I'm hoping that will significantly reduce the number of occurrences of, "Wha' you say?" I'm also hoping it will be temporary; that she won't need it once the fibroma is shrunk to nothing.

Segue:

Our pastor is planning on organizing a church-wide day of fasting and prayer for Grace's healing. I figure many of you blog readers would like the chance to participate, so I will post with more details when we know them.
