But Mooooommmmmm, we AREN'T fighting, just teasing... But I will take that coke...if it is diet (My drink of choice )
Ella does have the FM system at preschool but we are not allowed to bring it home. She needs it at the YMCA for Gym and Swim. Poor kid just stands there and looks at all the other kids trying to figure out what they want her to do. She can lip read pretty well for a 4 yr old as long as she has some idea what you are going to say. In the Gym she can't hear at all and has no clue what they are going to play each day so she is so lost
Plus she has sunday school and other things we really need the FM for outside of school.
God Bless Ella, she DESERVES to hear in ALL situations, it just makes me so upset for her. I have to fight for EVERYTHING for my children as well. It isn't that you mind working hard to get them what they need, it is EXHAUSTING when everything is this way, I DO understand! Money doesn't make you happy...unless that money could be used to improve the quality of your child's life...Praying SOMETHING happens to ensure Ella can just be a child and hear!
For Avy we really don't know how long she will have her vision. There is nothing they can do for her. It is like she is looking through a paper towel tube that is closing down tighter and tighter. I feel so helpless

I am so sorry for Avy and for you. David was losing his eyesight due to his pseudotumor cerebrii..they tried to tell me he was putting on, he just wanted glasses. They had to eat crow when his Neurologist ordered an LP, which showed his opening pressures triple what they should have been. He is in a holding/stable pattern with his eyes at the moment. I do know the fear (his and mine) when he was unable to see anything but shapes. for Avy and prayers that SOMETHING will help. I believe in miracles!

We were just there and my kids loved it as well!! Our little guy says he wants his wish to be for GKTW too!!(he doesn't qualify for a wish

Hope you guys get there soon and she can enjoy the sights some!

Christian and Ella are so mad they don't get a wish. We don't know if Hayden can get one down the road we will see how his arthritis plays out as he ages.

I really think in 10 yrs she will have her sight back. Medical advances are coming so far everyday. It is just hard to watch her struggle

Note to self I owe Judy one diet coke

Looks how happy Avy is. So so exciting!!

Finally some great news for Ella
We have been fighting with insurance to get her new hearing aids and after 15 months they finally agreed to pay for them. She is getting purple see thru ones She really wanted the zebra but I am worried she will hate them in a few yrs so purple it is. The only bummer part is they are still refusing to pay for the FM system (extra add-ons that snap onto the aid so the teacher can talk into a micro phone and it goes right into her ears) because that is $2,550 extra. We are still going to fight to get that added so if anyone wants to send good wishes we will take them

No word about Avy's wish

What geat news about the hearing aids, I really hope they come through and buck up the $$ to ay for the FM System. Can her Dr write a letter indicating that she needs the system? Perhaps they would cover it then? I really hope you guys hear back soon about Avy's wish there anyone at your MAW Chapter you call? What dates did you give them for what you wanted to go?

Can I have a Coke too?

I'm sorry things are so scary with her vision. I hope that what limited vision she has left remains. What a horrible, scary thing it must be for her to be going through. I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose your vision suddenly, let alone a very slow process. Lots of

The teacher is going to write up a letter saying she needs it, hopefully that helps.

It is scary. I feel so helpless. I don't know how to tell her what is going on. She doesn't ask and I don't know how much she gets.
