He had his first proper portage session today and did really well. The lady -Maxine- was really friendly and did quite alot with him. She's coming again in 2 weeks then from September it will be weekly. I think he will really benefit from the sessions. Then tonight George's teacher of the deaf came again and took 'impressions' of his ear canals so he can order his hearing aids. They should be ready in about 2 weeks. They're not like they used to be, they come in different colours so we've (I've) chosen him pale blue ones with tiny pictures of dogs set into the actual ear moulds (Wayne wanted red ones with Man utd logo on the moulds!!!) So pleased that he's not having the ones on a sweat band x

That's good to hear Claire, sounds like you're getting lots of really good support. Harrison's portage worker comes weekly now and he really looks forward to trying all the different toys she brings, if you get on well with your portage worker it's quite nice for you too as you can have a good old chat x x

The hearing aids sound great. I wear hearing aids and they're just plain boring ones! I hope George gets on ok with them. I think portage is brilliant. Brodie had it for about a year and he came on in leaps and bounds. I felt quite sad when it stopped as Sally his portage worker was so lovely she felt like a friend. xx
