I am still amazed at how great Alexandra continues to do. Her reading has improved so much. Her sentence structure has improved, as well. She initiates conversation, which never happened before unless she was hungry. She is so aware of what is happening around her.
As far as speech therapy goes, we continue to practice daily. I try to come up with different ways of working with her, but it is hard. I don't want her to become bored. We resumed therapy at UT last week after 5 weeks off. She is wearing her implant and her hearing aid all the time now. Previously, she did not wear her aid during therapy. I like this much better. It seems easier for her. Sometimes she likes to turn everything off, but most of the time she stays turned on until bedtime.
At the store today a baby was crying. She grinned from ear to ear because she heard it. The great thing was, I never saw the baby. It must have been halfway across the store.
We are almost 8 months from her turn on date. Life is so much easier for Alexandra and us as a family. We are so thankful!!!
