Count Down to Initial Stimulation

91 Hours to Initial Stimulation.  Just sayin'...

Yes, the count down is on.  We seriously cannot wait for the Thursday.  Ryan is all healed up and she is really doing well.  There are very few scabs left over her ears, and although a tad bit of swelling remains, she really couldn't be better.

That said, here's the plan this week.  Work Monday - Wednesday.  Take the day off on Thursday, but we'll still drop Bryce off in the morning at school.  Maybe we'll go to Starbucks first.  Then, we'll make our way to the hospital after Ryan's nap.  The appoint on Thursday, the 23rd is at 2pm.  And, yes, we'll have cameras, cell phones, etc in hand.  Sean and I are preparing ourselves.  She may cry.  And that, quite honestly, would not shock me.  She is so particular these days, that something different (real different) in her world may not be the 'music to her ears.'

Speaking of the initial stimulation, were not exactly sure of the process, or what her first sounds will be, but most likely, or, I would guess, they'll let her play with toys as they are initially stimulating her.  That way, she'll all of a sudden hear the toys on the table as she plays with them.  I'm sure at that point Sean and I will start talking to her.  It's going to be so much fun.

Then, that begins our Memorial Day weekend together.  We'll spend the rest of Friday listening to the Mozart or Beethoven CD in the car on the way home, and then we'll pick up big brother Bryce.  As I sit here and type this, I'm listening to Bryce play with his cars, talk to
 daddy, talk to Rudy and just laugh laugh laugh.  She's got a big surprise.  I'm sure she will love hearing from her big brother most of all.  She is his biggest fan.

Some videos to post this time.  We did a carnival, we ran a race this weekend.  Never ends, but I'm finding this is only the beginning of the crazy world of kiddos!
