so charles had his big hearing test this morning and i am DE-LIGHTED to announce that he has passed!! he BARELY passed, but it's a pass none the less. you may recall that his is the man who spent january-july deaf as a post in his right ear. surgery #2 gave him titanium surgical implants in his ear and he has slowly been regaining hearing since. had he failed this test, the process would have begun to chapter him out of the military and life (insurance, income, everything...) as we know it would end. needless to say, it was a bit of a stressful morning. but we're in the clear now, at least for a bit. his regular-toned hearing is perfect but lower decibles are non-existent for him. on that ground alone, the doctor could have submitted the paperwork to end his career but thankfully since his "regular" hearing was so good, he cut him some slack and removed all profiles and cleared him for duty. he is required to have the tubes in his ears replaced yearly as preventative maintenance, and should he not do well on ANY other hearing test in the future, he's done for. but luckily they usually only do hearing tests every couple of years. WHEW!!!
so in my last post i said that if we're having a boy there will be star wars decorations in the nursery. in my attempt at time wasting/desperate searching for a way to make that cute, i came across an artist who does the COOLEST star wars nursery stuff. yes, people really do that... apparently... i showed it to charles and he too liked it. so now i'm not so learly of a lame-ish boy nursery anymore.
