Spidey to the rescue!

Spider man, spider man, da-da-dada-da-da-dada ... however it goes ... are you humming the tune in your head??? Ha, me too.

This morning as Matthew was getting ready for school, we noticed as we were changing one of his hearing aid batteries that the back battery door on his aid was broken. Urgh. This has happened before ... but being the "Mother of the Year" that I am, I don't remember which aid is was ... it could very well be the same one ... but again maybe not ...

We have some rockin' SpiderMan bandaids though ... and they sure came to the rescue, cutting them just so to seal off the back of his hearing aid, and looking mighty stylish as well ... Matthew was quite excited anyhow.

This all indicates something I have been waiting for in recent months ... it is time finally ... for new hearing aids. (sigh)

Matthew has had the current pair since he was diagnosed when he was 2, and I suppose the life of hearing aids isn't that great ... it is a small electronic gadget more or less ... Have you ever had a cell phone last for more than 4 years? Things are always updated and so on ... as people get nerdier and find smaller, more fancy-shmancy ways of dorking up the world.

And, yes ... I needed to spend $4,000 on something right? ... %$#@ ... so yipeeee skipeee ... it will be new hearing aids. (can you sense sarcasm in a blog?)

At school Matthew wears a "trainer" that is like a backwards backpack on his chest, with 2 cords that boot into his hearing aids ... so the FM system the teacher is wearing goes directly into his little ears ... He was quick to tell me today that he only wore ONE boot with his trainer since the other aid was broken. I guess in kindergarten kids are enjoying what their teachers have to say and want to hear all parts of the story ... shoot, I have kids at the Middle School that will pretend like they are wearing boots and ignore you all period.

Matthew will never be that kid ... right???

Thank you Spidey for your services this morning ... Thank you Lord for my son and his amazing sense of humor (can't imagine where he got that) ... Broken hearing aids and all Lord ... Thank you for providing to meet every need of my family, always.
