hey y'all!!

sorry its been so long for an update...

lets see, first try ended (guess who got all a's)  and thus began college app season- so far i have been accepted to montana state with 2 scoloships- but montana is a loooong way from home and i have my eye set on the u of m twin cities, who i haven't heard from yet.

second tri is in full swing, taking a cooking class and thats fun,  and a hard english class thats a lot of work!!  my teachers this try only update grades once a week or take a long time to get things in the grade book so it looks like my grades are worse than the are... :)

on sunday the 9th we had my grandfathers memorial, but we also had a billiard here in mn so not many people came ( we think is was tom that sent the storm to keep people away :)

sense being CLEARED for alpine skiing, it has been going really well, having lots of fun and just taking it easy...

on the other side of my life
i have had many appointments/ tests related to my hearing loss and we have opted for a personal FM system that i will own (compared to the school owning it).  i wear hearing aid looking ear pieces that actually are just receivers and then i have a phone sized box thing that picks up the person thats wearing it and sends it to my ear pieces, that then put that sound into my head.  we chose this over hearing aids because it only amplifies what i am trying to listen to (teacher, parents at dinner in a restaurant )  it even has a group setting so that when i work in groups of 5 at school i can just put it on a desk and it will amplify only them.
we are on the road to getting them but it looks like jaunary some time (insurance needs to prior approve) and then friday i meet with the vision and hearing teachers at school to work some more accommodations so that school is not so hard.

but other than that stuff my other appointments aren't tell after the first of the year. :)
i also have a cold, no fun.  i am surprised i have been able to focus to type this... i could  not when i tried homework :)


5 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!  can't wait.  I'm playing tuba at church on christmas eve :) :) :)

happy holidays,
<3 hannah

then today... I went skiing.  YUP THAT MEANS I WAS CLEARED! we have ski practice with the team tomorrow so that will be fun :)


also the special hearing test came back looking normal!!! YAY!  so now were looking at other options besides amplifiers (hearing aids).  YAY!  they are all a lot cheaper and easier to manage :)

on top of homecoming, i had many appointments.  I'm getting hearing aids, have the fitting in november  i also saw ENT, they did a scope (note mom did not tell me this was happening -_-)  but it was ok (they numbed up my nose and then put a camera stick down it- same path as an ng tube, but only to my mouth i got to see my vocal cords!), just a bit uncomfortable.  i have what they though i have and its easy to treat :) VCD/PVFM
i also had OT, looks like i will be in OT tell late december

next week i have my eye doctor, dr sing, reumatology, ot and dr chris

liz and i have monday off of school but i have docs :P

IN EXTREMLY EXSITING NEWS (lol soooo many spelling erors) MY DOCTOR AND I WERE SELECTED TO RECIVE A TEAM BEAD CARRIED BY AN OLYMPIAN!!! i got the email today.  how that worked was i wrote a short nonimation on how my doc shows olyimpic spirt with my care <3 they got reviewed and we were chosen :)

sappy saturday: an overdo update and london wrap up!

hi y'all!  hope your having a happy end to you summer

i made it back from london in one piece, although joe biden stole our gate and we had to wait a hour and a half...
when i got home i was amazed with the amount of packages i had got!!! most were things that i made/ordered, on top of that i got a really nice package from mallory in her blog giveaway :)

on the other side of things i have been very tired (jet lag?) sense getting home.  i have been having fun at the fair, was there for almost 3 hours today 2012 record so far (will beat that next week when we see journey as a fam)

saw 1 doc last week and have 3 this week.  i find it ironic that i have my well child and my pre op in the same appointment
get it
because if your actually a well child
you would never need
and pre op
funny?
no?
ok.

ill get my hearing checked again and we will see if i fail it again, if i do we can get  refered to someone so that i can hear well again :)

i also see the eye doc


we have extended family birthdays tomorrow (mines in there!!!)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
surviving sickness

should be cool
tomorrow will be ether how to set up a medical binder OR covering a bald patch with class



also keep your eyes peeled for london pics :)

thats all!
