Christmas Eve

I'm way behind and hoping to get caught up over the winter break (yes Winter Break for Megan) Christmas Break at my school.
Tree is finally up - house is a disaster, no baking done and I still have shopping to do. Where did this year go?

Andrew retook the hearing test and the results were not promising. So it's back to a wait and see thing. The Audiologist was a witch - she kept saying - I can't believe the school allowed him to not have amplification. I finally said Hey I had to convince the last Audiologist to help us to get them to give him preferential seating and a 504. Believe me they never insisted on it. I also told her that I'd taken him to 4 different audiologists and gotten 4 different recommendations from the beginning.
Anyway at 40 decibels he got 44% correct at 60 decibels he got 97% correct. Most soft spoken women talk at 40 but most men talk at 60 and last I checked Marines were either yelling or using hand signals. However the concern is his losing hearing not the deficits he was born with. She did say he's a great candidate for genetic studies and his children will have about a 50% chance of inheriting this condition. There is also nothing to be done about it except hearing aids. Not the Christmas News Andrew wanted. Poor guy.
