Some time has passed and it's time for an update. Kylee has settled in just fine here at home. It has taken some time to get all of her special needs arranged for but they are in place now. She has had her medical exams, dental and eye screenings and is being seen by an audiologist. Everything checks out fine and her hearing is slightly better than we had hoped for. She is listed as severely deaf, which is better than profoundly deaf.:-) She has new earmolds and her hearing aids have been tuned for her initial wear period. She will go back in 2 weeks for fine tuning. She attends McGraw Elementary in Fort Collins 3 days a week in the special needs class and one day at preschool. Providers at both schools just love her. We will be starting speech therapy sessions here at home 2 days a week and 1 session a week here at home of family signing class. We go to a meeting with the school district on Wednesday to establish her initial IEP (individual education plan) for the future.
Aliya and Kylee both attend swimming lessons on Saturday. Its a busy schedule but well worth it! :-) Aliya and Kylee still have some sibling rivalry issues but are growing together beautifully every day as sisters.
