NEWS IS SPREADING
First off, before I start off writing some more, I am in MyWestTexas which is a local news website and the link will be below. I will be in the local paper on Sunday with more pictures available! It’s amazing to see all the support that I have on Facebook and even from my blog from people that don’t even know me that are so excited for me and it’s crazy how fast the story spread on there, right when I shared it at least 5 friends shared it from there. It truly is an amazing journey and I am very blessed.
As an additional note, If you are considering a CI or going through the process of getting one or just have a question about it. Please don’t hesitate to ask me, I would LOVE to help in any way I can. I loved the comments that I got from other people with CI’s and it makes me feel like my blog is helping in a way. You can leave me a comment with your email address or you can email me at this address:

PROGRAM 10-12
I didn’t notice anything huge between these, but then again I didn’t do too much when I had these channels on. It’s still an amazing experience and it’s neat to see how each channel tunes in everyone’s voices even more.
PROGRAM 13
A huge sound that I noticed with this channel is opening a Dr. Pepper from the 20oz bottle. It was so cool to hear it fizzle when all the bubbles come up. That was one interesting experience!!
PROGRAM 14
I went golfing for the very first time with my very good friend Amme for a fundraiser for another one of my very good friend’s (Sue) Husband because he has cancer for the second time around. It was so good to be around such good people helping for a good cause and definitely for a good well deserving man who needs it. We golfed with Bob and Doug. Bob was the only one who golfed regularly, he was a good golf teacher! Doug was interesting and a good guy, he signed to me and I enjoyed his story about how he learned how to sign. I told Amme that it was interesting to hear the “whoosh” from the swinging of the golf clubs. I liked that sound, it made me smile. I was also talking to Lee (Sue’s husband) and he was joking with me that my nickname should be “Lumberjack” because I hit the ball into the trees! I understood him with no training with him whatsoever. I enjoyed that day, it was a good day with great friends.
I also realized that I had the TV on the Olympics very loudly one night and I could hear MY dogs barking outside. That was so awesome! I’ve never been able to do that unless the TV was off.
I’m learning more and more every day. I live by myself and need to learn how to recognize the sounds but I think it’s just coming so naturally to me that it just seems almost normal so it doesn’t surprise me unless it’s random stuff that I’ve never heard before. I jump at every little noise that I don’t recognize and I think it makes the dogs jumpy too because see me jump so they jump up with me and run towards the sound so that helps a lot!! Love my little hearing doggies!
PROGRAM 15
This was a neat channel. Yesterday, I was in Brandi’s office and I told Brandi that that door sounds weird and she said that it was a squeaky door and she got very excited for me!
I am also hearing my dogs scratch themselves. It sounds so weird and I can hear every bit of them scratching! It’s annoying, but it makes me laugh because it never bothered me before!
PROGRAM 16 AND 3rd MAPPING
I plan on switching to program 16 tomorrow and that will mark halfway through all the programs. I have a feeling that I’m pretty close to where I want to be because I’m doing so well. I have my 3rd mapping on Monday in Dallas and will have more news to report then!
