This week so far... ECHO, MNH&V, and sign class

  So this week has already been quite busy! Monday we had our first sign language class! Was definitely fun and can't wait until next monday!

   Tuesday we had B from MN hands and voices come to our house and kind of give us more information and resources for children who are deaf and hard of hearing. B herself also had a hearing loss, so it was fun to try out my signing with her. She brought Celina a snuggly handmade blanket that their organization makes, so we might just see celinas picture on the MN HANDS AND VOICES facebook page or their news letter. 😊 B also set me up with some family's in our area going thru what were experiencing, and is setting us up with a deaf mentor! Seriously can't wait to meet these people and hear their experiences.

  Today we had Celinas ECHO on her heart! Good news is her heart looks healthy! Yay! She does have a Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) which is a valve that connects the aorta and pulmonary artery when baby is in the womb. Once babys are born it's supposed to close within an hour to a day or so after birth, but Celinas didnt. They're just going to keep an eye on it and if it hasn't closed on its own by the time she's one they'll go in and plug it up! So! Not necessarily bad news! I did look tho to see if it's associated with CHARGE syndrome and it looks like it is 😕 guess we'll just leave that in God's hands and worry about it when we get to it!

  We get celinas aids in 2 days! Will definitely be posting a video! Can't wait!
