what we've been doing over the past few days...

well, where do i start... some of the things that have been happening around here are: (not in any particular order)

on a somewhat 'sad' note: someone backed into spike's new van the other day so he's been working between insureance companies & dealerships in order to get it settled, repaired, rental car while getting repaired, etc....

on a 'better' note: ruby's doing very well with her CI... she's starting to hear some things as her teacher was telling me that on monday of this week, a little boy sitting beside her was making noises & she signed, "TOOOOOO LOUD!" & plugged her ears (if only she knew how loud she is!!)... she's really trying to talk & tries repeating everything we say (sometimes WAY off of how it sounds to us, but she's trying!)... they reprogramed her CI last friday to 4 new programs (1, 2, 3 & 4) & we're to get her up to level 4 by her next appointment (on the 9th) & she was just raised to program level 2 this evening & is doing great... i think we'll begin uping her program levels more quickly as she's doing just fine...

well, i've really got more to write, but it's now 12:30am & i've been on the phone for over an hour so i'm off to bed & will write more tomorrow (& hopefully add pics!)
