We had an awful time this last September in the Orlando airport. They made my daughter (3 years old) take it off and then they wanded it and swabbed it...then they took it away and put it on a table and told us not to touch it. Poor Emma was in tears and just wanted her "bamp" back...they said...

I just wanted to add too that my daughter Emma is 3 and a half and she is very active. She attends ballet and tap classes and they do tumbling in there too. She has no problem doing sommersaults now with her BTE...when she wore the Bodyworn it was hard. Now with th Mic lock tubing on her...

Lily's Dad....I totally agree with you on the speech therapy. We have taken the Auditory Verbal approach and basically just made it part of our life. We do speech therapy 24/7 around here. Our therapist who we see once a week gives me games to take home and different toys that encourage...

It's so interesting and beneficial to hear from all you adults who have CI's. Funny...Emma just started taking off her Ci and giving it to me saying "all done" about an hour before she goes to bed...i'm glad we have the BTE now because I bet she's wanted to take it off and with the fannie pack...

I know what you mean....I showed Emma pictures of Cloggy's daughter from his blog last night and she squealed..."she has bamp Mom!!!" She calls her CI her bamp.... she was so excited to see another child with one. She's seen two adults but never another child...... Everyday miracles occur...

Lily's Dad...we did go to HR at my husbands company...I am hoping that they can do something. My father is also going to get his boss's brokerage company to pressure our insurance company. As another resort, my Dad';s boss is good friends with both Senators in Illinois and maybe they can do...
