Ashley's hearing checkup

Today we visited Dr. Malone and Ashley's hearing is the same as it was after her surgery. So we had a mold done of her ear and are starting the process of getting the hearing aid. It is crazy to me that our insurance doesn't cover something that is congenital. They only cover $750 for a hearing aid every three years (the molds cost about $50). If she was born with it, then I think they should cover it. I am researching to see if we have any other help in covering the cost. The hearing aid costs about $1400. That is a lot of money!
Ashley was worried about getting shots and freaked out when they went to make the mold. She thought it was a shot but it was a special light. She did great in the actual testing part. I am so proud of her. She is such a trooper.
Abbey won a DQ cake over the weekend in a drawing. She has been so excited to get it so today we headed out and picked it up. She wants to eat it all by herself! I have managed to talk her into sharing it with others. :-)
