Growing greater: What's up with the Woolards...

Here's what's up with the Woolards lately...

We went to see Memommy, my precious grandmother! The girls were wild and performed tricks for everyone.

Addi has been learning about colors at school. Each week, they study 2 colors. They wear the color and bring show and tell items. She loves it!

Addi had her tubes taken out b/c one was dangerously close to falling behind her ear drum. After they took her tubes out, they told us that the holes remaining are larger than expected so when she turns 7 or 8, she'll have to have her ear drums reconstructed. Not something I look forward to!

Fall and football are here! The girls are enjoying watching Auburn play.

We celebrated my mom's birthday and my Aunt Glenda's birthday. This is the picture that Addi drew in Mom's card. I think it is so funny!

This is known around our house as "the Finley Face." Boy, can this cute little girl give some dirty looks. She's a hoot!

Addi had a hearing test today. Our audiologist reiterated that the perforations in Addi's ear drums are large and that the "patches" the ENT put on them didn't hold. Addison did an awesome job at her appointment. They played hearing game after hearing game for over an hour straight. She stayed focused and followed directions (Thank you, Lord!). Both ears are hearing below what they were previously, especially in the low frequencies. They bumped up the volume of her hearing aid which is doing a great job of compensating for the hearing loss. The audiologist is now saying that Addi's hearing loss is conductive rather than sensory-neural as they have always thought (which is a good thing- i.e. no damage to the hearing nerve). So...we will retest in 6 months and hope that her hearing doesn't get any worse.
