On http://Lotte-deaf girl.blogspot.com
So.. All you kids out there... Start reading, wondering and start asking questions to her... It's now a blog for parents, children and teenagers...Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger345125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36071279.post-92021317771054115042016-07-07T06:00:00.000+02:002016-07-07T06:00:14.456+02:00Time flies....<br />Suddenly it is year#12 with CI's and as one can see from the frequency of the updates on this blog... it is going good.<br />So good that there is not much to tell. And then again, that little fact implies that there is so much going on.. <br />Let's see. Finished her first year on the new school. <br />That meant letting go of the security of the teachers that stood with her for 7 years, and taking her own control, with still help from the new teachers.<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
That has gone well. The sound system has been transferred from one school to the other so children new to her class needed to get the hang of speaking in a microphone.<br />She is still reluctant to use the FM equipment. </div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br />With the <a href="http://lotte-sofie.blogspot.no/2015/07/technology-rocks.html">Cochlear equipment she "got" a year ago</a> she has many opportunities but she can't be bothered. Still.. we will start pushing more.. <br />The experts that guide Lotte end her teachers, <a href="http://www.cochletten.no/">Cochletten</a> from Oslo, are also pushing for it. They know it will help Lotte a lot. We just need to make sure Lotte will get an "A H" moment and start using it.. One can hope..</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br />That reminds me of an incident where she messaged me at work telling that both CI's didn't work. OK - both, that can't be a electronic problem in the CI. Two at the same time is VERY unlikely.. Batteries...<br />So I asked.. "Are the batteries charged? Did you try the backup." Answer: "Yes. Same problem."<br />Hmm.. None of the batteries charged? The charger must be broken.. So I asked "Can you put the FM - Mini-Mic - on. Does it work now..??<br />Lotte tried... No. Didn't work.. <br />I had no idea. The professionals had no idea. Why would both CI's stop at the same time. I got to know from Lotte's brother and sister that she did hear a bit..<br />Then, The provider of the CI's and equipment had a great idea.. "When is the last time the filters on the mic's were changed out.."..<br />Uhhhh. long time ago.. Lotte's mom changed the filters.. and ... BACK IN BUSINESS..<br />Turned out that she had worn a wig at school. Dust must have clogged the filters up the day before....<br />NOW, she should have been able with the mini-mic, but guess what. She hadn't charged them So they didn't work... Had they worked, I would have concluded that it would have been the microphones... <br />So.. We used Lotte's panic due to the situation to show how important it is to have her equipment ready. Keep them charged, have backups ready or change them out in good time..<br />"If you don't you might end up not being able to hear...".<br />(Which did happen later in the month... At the theatre the batteries ran dead.. Tough luck..)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmLcGa_2WrKm1FLqR2MDR0Qxp0mcw4HWBhJs1PZVi64jMs2H0ou5TRgoX-hc9TC0vSkiW3xDX5pxsQyxl1ouEhSV_HCDV9kizeUNTk9e0rnJMgyeXhyphenhyphenLAtyqknN8ej2kdpfvRe/s1600/neuschwanstein_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmLcGa_2WrKm1FLqR2MDR0Qxp0mcw4HWBhJs1PZVi64jMs2H0ou5TRgoX-hc9TC0vSkiW3xDX5pxsQyxl1ouEhSV_HCDV9kizeUNTk9e0rnJMgyeXhyphenhyphenLAtyqknN8ej2kdpfvRe/s320/neuschwanstein_2.jpg" width="320" /></a>Otherwise we went to the USA in 2015. Visiting NYC and in the process meeting up with some "CI-" friends. Meeting in NY and visiting in their home town.<br />Great to see Lotte be at ease with those lovely people and their children. Of course a bit hesitant at first, but after a warming up period she had no problem chatting with her new friends in English..<br />This year Lotte promised she would be our German guide. She learned German at school and can use it this vacation when we go to the castle that stood model for Disney.<br /><br />More to come... </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Time flies, and Lotte is almost going to the next phase of the Norwegian Schooling system. after 7 years "Barneskole" (primary<i> school)</i> she will graduate to "ungdomsskole" <i>(lower secondary school) </i>where for the next three years she will work towards a more specific education.<br />
<div>
The last couple of weeks there is activity getting to know the new school, teachers and new pupils. </div>
<div>
Lotte was placed in a class without one of her her best friends but after meeting her new classmates, of which some she never met, she was happy and positive about the new classmates.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yesterday it was the parents that met, and Lottes mum (M) spend a little time explaining to other parents about Lotte's CI. Just a couple of minutes. Enough to inform, not too long to set too much focus on it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the parents spoke to M about how she met Lotte on a previous activity a couple of days ago and how Lotte had told her that she needed to speak slower because Lotte couldn't understand.</div>
<div>
WOW... Great to hear that Lotte is taking care of herself. Making sure she understands what is being said. Making sure she is not missing some essential message.. And this towards a person she had never met... Proud parents here...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's not often we get this kind of feedback. Obviously from teachers at school we hear how she's doing, but from other parents, unknown parents, this is rare.. Guess that's the "problem" with a child happy at school and with friends... She's fully accepted so nothing is special...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway.... </div>
<div>
So, as said above, I'm far from done with this blog. Mew milestones are pushing buttons that require updating the blog as required I guess..</div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Christmas came today for Lotte. 7 Months early but with full power.</span></div>
<div>
We are lucky here in Norway.. Well, better put, the socialistic system is working very well.. We do pay a lot of taxes, but is is put to good use...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lotte is now the proud owner (technically she is borrowing the equipment) of the <b>Cochlear Wireless</b> "Streamer", "Mini Microphone" and "Phone Clip" </div>
<div>
( <a href="http://www.cochlear.com/wps/wcm/connect/in/home/support/cochlear-wireless-accessories" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">http://www.cochlear.com/wps/wcm/connect/in/home/support/cochlear-wireless-accessories</a> )</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Early in the morning we were at NAV Hjelpemiddelsentrale with "I.L.V" to try if Lottes new Cochlear Implant was made ready to work with the new Cochlear Bluetooth Wireless equipment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After reading through the manual of the Mini Microphone and following the instructions.... it worked.! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Lotte liked it much more than the old FM equipment. Definitely less hassle although we need to find if the system automatically reconnects...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After that Lotte got to try the Phone Clip. She managed to get this going by herself and directly called her mother... Lotte was thrilled... She loved her new equipment. Even though Lotte has no problem using the telephone at the moment, I can see how this will help her making calls..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Finally we were also allowed to borrow the Streamer to see if this would work well with the television and later in the classroom, when connected to the Amplifier that is running the speakers.. This would mean there is no need for a "hearing loop" in the classroom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Lotte promised that she will keep NAV/ILV updated about her experience with the three wireless gadgets.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Let's check there, at Lotte's own blog, to see what she says... </div>

In fact, I wasn't ready for the total overhaul of my blog by my wonderful, determined daughter..<br />
<br />
So, Please follow <a href="http://lotte-deafgirl.blogspot.com/">Lotte's blog here</a> and share it.<br />
<br />
This blog will be available as a resource for us, and anyone else that want to pick our brain. :-)<br />

<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> I had two great experiences in Oslo. On Sunday Lotte and I had a meeting people that I connected to via the blog and then the day after a woman stopped Lotte (at the hospital/hotel) recognizing her from the blog when she looked for information about her grandson that was born deaf.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">So rewarding to meet people that benefit from the blog... A great feeling.</span></div>

<div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Lotte and I decided that Lotte will continue the blog. I will pass it on tho her, and she will keep you informed about herself. But obviously there will be some supervision.. We will see how it goes.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a good time to do this as it also marks that she received her upgrade from the Freedom processor to the newest Nucleus 6 last Monday 13. April 2015. A nice, actually.. great, milestone in her life. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We had to wait quite a while for the upgrade. After 10 years with the Freedom we felt it was her turn, but since it's the Norwegian government that provides the CI, and there are fewer funds available, we needed to be patient. Patience is all OK, but we weren't quiet. We did send some letters requesting the upgrade with arguments why Lotte should be chosen. Reasons ranging from participating in sport to starting a new school with equipment that needs to be in place before she makes that step.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Now, a week later, all is going fine. No hiccups, no surprises... The main difference is now that Lotte is using different programs. The remote makes it so much easier that she is actually using them. Before, with the Freedom, she only used 1 program, one volume.. There was no reason for her to change, or at least it was not worth the trouble.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Or, perhaps she was too young to actually do such technical things. Not physically, but there is a maturity required to realise you can control the way you hear. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In any case, the Freedom has done an excellent job getting her where she is now, and the N6 will allow her to confidently make the next step to the next school and the next phase in her life.</span></div>

And she told us that it is much nicer than handball as "with handball I don't know where to throw the ball."...<br />
A team sport is of course much more difficult compared to a sport where you listen and then perform. Especially when you don't get all the information due to having CI..<br />
The trainers are great. After we explained them that not all information is understood straight away, that they have to make sure Lotte understands, they have used that information well. I was really pleased when I noticed a trainer actually managing to get the volume of all the kids down, so that even she could speak with a normal voice... Not an easy thing to do in a swimming pool with 10 kids in a group.. (And more groups in the next lane..)<br />
So, she thrives. Loves to go. Is exhausted after her hour training. Two times a week...<br />
And, great progress..<br />
I hadn't been with her for a while (she wants to go alone... It's her way of owning this activity..) I was surprised to see how much progress she had made in the last month..<br />
Here a video of Lotte after 1 hour of training.... Even though she was exhausted, she still wanted to show her swimming with this video..<br />

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;">It's one of the things we have been focusing on a lot.. We tell her teachers, trainers.. "Do not think Lotte understands what you are saying. Not even when she says she does."'</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;">We tell them to ask control questions.... </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Lotte does understand more and more but at the same time she's hiding some of the things she does not understand. When confronted with that, she will do a step back, smile and say "Oh yeh, I dont understand..". But not before..</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">
It's understandable.. Lotte doesn't want to say every time she doesn't understand, and the teachers, friends, and at times us - parents - rather go on with the conversation than check if she did or did not understand.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Sometimes it doesn't harm to move on... sometimes it's important to verify that the message has gone through..</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">
At the "Lotte-Parent-teacher" meeting <span style="line-height: 1.38;">the teacher told Lotte that if she doesn't understand, she needs to ask her. And if Lotte still doesn't understand, she should ask again.. It's up to her - Lotte's teacher - to make sure Lotte understands... </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;">Then </span><span style="line-height: 1.38;">I told Lotte that it is always OK to ask. In fact, not asking is the first mistake, and just writing down an answer without understanding the question is the second mistake..</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;">Lotte hates making mistakes, so I hope this will be a motivating way of thinking....</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">When we just point at he answer she is very quick to erase the answer... She realises it's wrong, or better said... she guessed wrong. Rather than thinking & asking when she does the </span><span style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">exercise</span><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> she just writes down the first that comes to mind.. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Her reasoning is probably: If every question has an answer.. homework is finished... </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">At the end some tears due "trouble" with friends. Some frustration with friend teasing her. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">She explained very well how she prefers to play 1 on 1. When there are more she see the other girls whispering and (often rightly probably) thinks its about her. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then again.. with girls there's a lot of mental stuff going on... difficult for Lotte..</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">But she also shows wonderful compassion. How she includes other children when she sees someone is by him/her-self. And how she understands that you should not refuse children to play with you if they ask.. and that this is not valid just at school, but also outside school...</span></span><br />

After not wanting any CI under the swimming cap (pre-summer) she agreed (after we forced her) that hearing what the trainers said was kind of handy. So.. 1 CI was accepted. Then she came up with the idea of 2 CI's.. Who are we to disagree with that...<br />
<br />
Anyway... We found out that when we first localise where the spool needs to go above the cap, then put the spool there - under the cap, and then push the processors under the cap (on the ear is really awkward..) it works well..<br />

People with CI experiencing loud noise when turning on the CI in the morning, after a long period of inactivity.<br />
<br />
Lotte never had this problem.. (<a href="http://lotte-sofie.blogspot.no/2007/03/ci-in-trhe-morning.html">See this post from 2007</a>.. Jeezz.. has it been that long....)<br />
<br />
But for those who have this experience.. Here is a possible explanation..<br />
Not that I really understand... out of my league.

Abstract</h3>
<div class="">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
The insertion of cochlear implants into the inner ear often causes inflammation and fibrosis inside the scala tympani and thus growth of fibrous tissue on the implant surface. This deposition leads to the loss of function in both electrical and laser-based implants. The design of this study was to realize fibroblast growth inhibition by dexamethasone (Dex) released from the base material of the implant [polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)]. To prevent cell and protein adhesion, the PDMS was coated with a hydrogel layer [star-shaped polyethylene glycol prepolymer (sPEG)]. Drug release rates were studied over 3 months, and surface characterization was performed. It was observed that the hydrogel slightly smoothened the surface roughened by the Dex crystals. The hydrogel coating reduced and prolonged the release of the drug over several months. Unmodified, sPEG-coated, Dex-loaded, and Dex/sPEG-equipped PDMS filaments were cocultivated in vitro with fluorescent fibroblasts, analyzed by fluorescent microscopy, and quantified by cell counting. Compared to the unmodified PDMS, cell growth on all modified filaments was averagely 95% ±standard deviation (SD) less, while cell growth on the bottom of the culture dishes containing Dex-loaded filaments was reduced by 70% ±SD. Both, Dex and sPEG prevented direct cell growth on the filament surfaces, while drug delivery was maintained for the duration of several months. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

She's still excited to go, and loved it. The club is training for racing... In time..<br />
The previous times I went with her to see if she was comfortable (YES) and if there would be good communication between the trainers and Lotte.. And vice versa. Both times I didn't push Lotte to wear the CI under her swim-cap (hasn't been a success up to now). For me it was more important to get her settled.<br />
This last time, last Wednesday, her mother joined us and Lotte was eager to show what she could do. I told Lotte that we would use the CI under her swim-cap and she agreed without problems.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXKZhYYdGnPHz20iIN83Wq_w-ecYgzhaLB1FfgdbYp21Il5JOURsX9A6eU51t-pIcHFTMiCR80JHQCUGmiu3aFWDUQFq02YvFhsqcoAhxdmco2nb-DgKrSpnu2GGy1ergOMf3W/s1600/2013-09-16+16.30.52+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXKZhYYdGnPHz20iIN83Wq_w-ecYgzhaLB1FfgdbYp21Il5JOURsX9A6eU51t-pIcHFTMiCR80JHQCUGmiu3aFWDUQFq02YvFhsqcoAhxdmco2nb-DgKrSpnu2GGy1ergOMf3W/s400/2013-09-16+16.30.52+(1).jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It worked well. No problems like disconnecting for some reason... Lotte was hearing all the time.<br />
to do the excercise where previously whe would wait to see what needed to be done.It was wonderful to see how she now talked to the trainers, where previously she wold be silent, watching eagerly to what the trainer did. How she joked with the other children, where previously she would not make contact. How she would actually go first to do the excercise where previously whe would wait to see what needed to be done.<br />
In general, she became so much more involved... It was great to see.<br />
<br />
Mentally, cognitively, she has grown.. In the last couple of months she has become more sulf-sufficient.. This is just another of the steps to doing things herself.. her way..<br />
an see that Lotte notices the differences herself. How much easier it is to follow what needs to be done. How much more fun it is to hear what the other children are saying..I can see that Lotte notices the differences herself. How much easier it is to follow what needs to be done. How much more fun it is to hear what the other children are saying..<br />
<br />
So... For next time, I will have the CI swim bags with me, but I am not sure if I am going to suggest it to Lotte... I might leave it up to her to ask me... And if she doesn't.... I'll tell her to wear it..<br />
<br />

Update 25. Sept... She suddenly told me she wanted 2 CI on in the water...<br />

It is a way how we unconsciously define people around us, and unwillingly / unintentional leave a mark.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">I have done it myself... </span><br />

(I have even seen "CI-mom & CI-dad").<br />What is shown with this "name" is that it is the CI that defines the person. I have a feeling that when you use it enough, you start believing it.<br />It is NOT the CI that defines the child. Or the parent. The cochlear implant is a tool. In the beginning it it the magic that makes everything possible, but basically.. it is just a tool.<br />Think of how there is a difference between "CI-kid" and "child with CI".<br /><br />I hope more people will be aware of this and help to stop this. Our children define them-self. With or without CI.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36071279.post-25445095060904448492013-07-31T16:55:00.001+02:002013-08-02T08:09:50.534+02:00Video's - updated..Updated the post with video's of Lotte in the early years..

Beautiful incident yesterday between Lotte and her mother.</div>
<div>
As Lotte gets older, understanding more and more, and thinking more and more, the questions come up as well.</div>
<div>
Yesterday was a highlight..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A lot goes lost in translation, and this post might be edited a couple of times before we have the final version..</div>
<div>
But that's how it goes when the writer is 1000's of kilometers away from the source..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lotte asked her mother "How did you feel when you found out I couldn't hear?"</div>
<div>
"I was sad." Was my wife's answer. </div>
<div>
Lotte was surprised.. "Why?" Was the obvious question.</div>
<div>
An explanation was given followed by the return question.. </div>
<div>
"How do you feel about not being able to hear without CI? How do you feel when your CI is off?"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"No. I'm not sad. When the CI is off my head is empty."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Looking forward to more of these conversations... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
So... This is what makes her head full... All in one hand</div>

Swimming for these diploma's has been the vacation "thing". In Norway children start relatively late. Especially compared to Holland <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx37qEWBbtmqn6n21EpA2rsmZNnySxwvGJukcNgQoTfOY54klxiyYgfq5Erp9p2nVfNMqkuOzuv8CLZoa7Y3iElEg6qJbXDDuNtAUA6MkaERr3Ir6k9nNHAN3tN2Fqvn7xo8br/s1600/bilde.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a>where most children 2 years younger than Lotte will already have this Diploma. We tried some time ago in Norway but at that time she wasn't ready.. (<a href="http://lotte-sofie.blogspot.no/2008/01/swimming.html">Here..</a>)<br />

<br />
When we arrived in Holland Lotte started practicing 4 times a week for this diploma. Just like the previous 2 years when she worked to get "A" in 2011 and "B" in 2012.<br />
This year, the first time she got there I tried the <a href="http://lotte-sofie.blogspot.no/2012/10/swimming.html" target="_blank">official waterproof bags</a> so Lotte could hear the instructions, but this was no success. She likes the sounds in/under water, but that pleasure doesn't weigh up to the discomfort. Having to wear a bathing hat, they fall off, bathing cap falls off.. Frustration all around..<br />
<br />
So.. swimming deaf. With help from her big sister, but also by herself this year. The instructors know her and are great in communicating to Lotte.<br />

Actually.... is Lotte really catching up..?? <br />
<br />
Homework always seems, or feels, a sort of reference for what Lotte should be able to do. There's a feeling that when a she has a problem with her homework it means that she's behind.<br />
However.. we need to step back, think back to the last meeting we had with the school and remember that she's at above average level.<br />
She's doing fine compared to the rest of the class.. perhaps she would be at a higher level had she not been born deaf, but that is totally irrelevant. She is exactly where she should be.. She doesn't need to be able to know everything..<br />
<br />
With this school year there's a change in education. Like Lotte's mother said:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i>It's no longer "Learning to read.".. it's "Reading to learn." </i> !!</span></div>
<br />
And that is a difficult transition. We are aware that she reads words, sentences, but she's not thinking about what she reads.. At school they work on that, learning to read & understand the title, look & understand the pictures, think about it, start reading, make metal maps etc.. But its a lot to process...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.sussexvt.k12.de.us/science/The%20History%20of%20the%20World%201500-1899/Copernicus%20and%20the%20heliocentric%20solar%20system_files/image003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://www.sussexvt.k12.de.us/science/The%20History%20of%20the%20World%201500-1899/Copernicus%20and%20the%20heliocentric%20solar%20system_files/image003.jpg" /></a></div>
Many unknown concepts..<br />
Like "They thought the earth was the center of the orbit of the sun."<br />
Who is "they"..? - What is "center"? - What is "orbit"? One sentence read without problems, but not understood...<br />
<br />
BUT... is she supposed to understand.? How many other children have problems with the same concepts?<br />
That's something we need to keep in our mind..... we only see Lotte.... we should look at the level of other children as well.. The problems she has might be a general problem at that age in that class...<br />
<br />
It's important for us to realise this as the last thing we want to do is push Lotte too much and making her feel as if she is failing, and thereby losing her interest in school and homework.<br />
Because.. we are lucky with that.<br />
Lotte loves to go to school, likes doing homework, likes reading...<br />
A little bit of frustration at times of course but also the joy of overcoming difficulties and succeeding in difficult tasks.. You cannot have the one without the other..<br />
<br />
So.. again we will prepare homework in the weekend, structure better when we are going to do what homework. Have the homework done before she starts visiting friends..<br />
All promises we made before, but that dilute in the daily life where parents are sometimes not home when she is done with school.<br />
Parents that let her play with friends instead of insisting that she comes home first, that have to choose between social activities in the street vs academic activities..<br />
Parents that look back in history to see where Lotte comes from and are looking into the future where Lotte is headed.. Trying not to look where she is NOW.<br />
Parents that know that it will be all right in the long run..<br />
Parents that realise that ...<br />
