Crazy week!

We have been busy, busy!! Swim lessons started for all three. Rylee and Ryan have had the best time and just get in and giggle. Morgan didn't quite have the choice about taking lessons. We promised him that if he could prove to us that he could hold his own and swim in the deep end without struggling that we wouldn't make him take any more lessons. Well, he has proven himself already. Any other lessons will be by his choice after next week. Because Ryan's BAHA can not get wet, I have been sitting poolside the last week. Luckily, I was there on day one as I was nearly in the pool for a rescue. The child has no fear of water and it scares me to death!! Both instructors were further away doing one-on-ones and Ryan decided to wander away from the wall. He is very clear of the rules now and the instructors are communicating well with him. So, mom has moved away from the side and is now sitting in the bleachers with the other parents.

On Thursday, we sent photographs of Ryan's outer ears and information to the plastic surgeon in CA. So, we have begun another waiting period. The coordinator asked us when we would be interested in beginning the process. Not knowing how our insurance company will help, we have given the office a few possibilities. One being doing both surgeries between September and December of this year or beginning in January of next year. I don't know the time that needs to be given between surgeries so, I don't know if this is even a possibility. Once again, so many unknowns until we begin walking down the path.
Renovations are still going on...We are in week 3 of dry wall. The cabinets are nearly in for the bar/kitchenette area, carpet is getting ordered today, and final gallons of paint being bought. We hope to be done by mid-July.
