Week of Sept 8

Sept 11
My memory of 911
I was still asleep, Dane was getting ready for work while having the tv on the news channel downstairs. I was woken by him running up the stairs and yelling, "Oh, no!" , "Oh, my God!" He told me to turn the tv on and there we both sat glued to the tv. I didn't want to go to work (at that time I worked as a Para Educator). I couldn't believe what was happening. My parents were in Alaska on a Cruz ship, I wasn't able to contact them and had to wait for a call from them.

Sept 10
I called Cole's Pediatrician, Dr. Goldman and asked for a referral for an audiologist. She mentioned that when a parent has a concern about their child's hearing, it is an automatic referral without a visit to her first. She will have to get approval from my insurance. I asked her, if he does have hearing damage, could it be a residual from when he had meningitis? She said it is possible and she also mentioned that the insurance will most likely cover this. The approval will take a week or so to come in.

Sept 9
Dane picked Cole up from daycare; Cole's teachers informed Dane that they are concerned about Cole's hearing as they often call for him and he doesn't seem to respond, a book fell to the floor with a loud boom and all of the children turned except Cole. The Cole being unresponsive to calling didn't surprise Dane, but the other mention did and caused Dane's eyebrows to raise.
Dane and I realized that this may be a background noise problem. (Sept 10 call to Dr. Goldman)

Sept 8
Tanner had Karate, he was a bit bouncy and not listening to his instructors.
Cole is getting into a wonderful routine of going to daycare.
