Happy days

Easter came and left, we had so many Easter egg hunts and parties, and my parents got to experiment Easter in this country. It was a nice time, specially because Luca is doing so well that he is enjoying everyday just like if nothing had happened to him. We are just one week away from his activation. This is exciting. He will be able to hear sounds in a different way. He can hear some with his left ear now, he responds to sound and he does great in therapy, but the truth is that he is not capable of repeating words or sounds with just that much hearing. A new world will start for him next week. His implant hearing will be progressively adjusted so that his brain can get used to this new type of stimulation and with a lot of work from all his therapists and early interventionists and me, he will learn how to speak, because he can already manage to communicate without the need of words.

La pascua llego y se fue, tuvimos tant busqueda de huevos y fiestas, y mis padres pudieron experimentar la pascua en este pais. Lo pasamos bien, sobretodo porque Luca esta tan bien y porque esta disfrutando de cada dia como si nada le hubiera ocurrido. Solo nos falta una semana para su activacion. Es emocionate. Sera capaz de oir sonidos de manera diferente. Ahora oye algo con su oido izquierdo, responde a los sonidos y le va muy bien en la terapia, pero la verdad es que no es capaz de reproducir palabras o sonidos con solo esa capacidad auditiva. Un mundo nuevo empezara para el la semana que viene. Su audicion por el implante sera ajustada progresivamente para que su cerebro se acostumbre a este nuevo tipo de estimulacion y con mucho trabajo por parte de sus logopedas, asistentes sociales y mio, sera capaz de aprender a hablar, porque de momento ya se las apanha para comunicarse sin necesidad de palabras.

OK I wrote this post 3 days ago and only now I realize that I didn't post it! Anyways, I have more to share by now.
Yesterday, after a week having that splinter in my finger I took it out. The nail grew enough to posh it a little and then I managed to grab it with tweezers. Thanks to all who gave me advice! I was getting desperate but actually it didn't hurt, so I even managed to continue quilting a bit.

OK, escribi esto hace tres dias y ahora me doy cuenta de que no lo publique! Bueno, ahora tengo mas que compartir.
Ayer, despues de una semana con la astilla en el dedo me la saque. La unha me habia crecido lo suficiente como para empujarla un poco fuera y luego me las apanhe para sacarla con unas pinzas. Gracias a todas las uqe me dieron buenos consejos! Me estaba volviendo loca pero como no me dolia, aun me las apanhe para seguir acolchando la quilt de mi madre.

Today is a happy birthday for someone in my family. And this is specially for her:
