Thank you! She keeps me on my toes for sure!! I knew she could have life altering things in her life when she was born. I am her mom so I love her no matter what is thrown at us. She is a tough cookie!!

She has been evaluated. I am in the process of getting a new eval though. She has recently been diagnosed with autism. So now we have a whole new group of things to look at. We will also be having another eye surgery. She has developed cataracts on both eyes. The left is worse than the right. He...

Thanks for all of the great advice. Yes Ashley was born at 25 weeks and weighed only 15 ounces. She still has many things going on with her. She is developmental delayed and has sensory integration disorder. She is very sensitive to touch and will not tolerate any texture in her mouth (still on...

I wish I could find a toilet seat that makes music when she sits on it. She loves sound and lights. I am willing to try just about anything at this point. Thanks I will look for that to see if she likes that. Thank you.

I am in desperate need of some potty training advice. I have not been on in a long time. Ashley is now 5 and is not showing any signs of interest in potty training at all. I have tried just about everything I can think of. She will pick up her potty and move it from room to room and play with it...

Thank you to all that have sent a reply. All of the information was very helpful. I didn't think it would be a big deal but it helps to get responses from folks that have been there done that so to speak. Thanks again!!! Any further info please send !!

That is what they told me too. Nice to get it from outside source though.

I have not posted in a while here but as a mom to a child with implants I wanted to offer my experience. My daughter has had her implants now for 1 year 9 months on the right side and 10 months on the left. She is 3 years old. She has a very limited vocabulary. It is very slow coming. That is...

Her ENT has no patients that have had this happen. The one audi that has, was off that day. They just turned one of the two off so the problem should be fixed. We go back in two weeks to follow up to make sure all is well. Was just curious if she may hear differently if there is a short.

We found out that 2 of the electrodes in Ashley's right implant are shorting to each other. Has anyone else had this happen? If so could you hear any different? Ashley had been pulling that side off more often for a bit. Was curious if she may have had distortion. She can't tell me so I have to...

Ashley got her update today. She now has Opus 2 on both sides. She seems to like them fine. The sound quality is supposed to be much better. Nice holiday gift.

:( Well we got bad news today. Ashley's audi is out sick and we had to reschedule her appointment. Now we have to wait till the 29th. So I guess maybe the other side will be in by then and we can do both. That would be nice. Will keep you posted all the same. Thanks for the well wishes.

Just a quick note. Ashley is going in for her Medel upgrade on Tuesday. She will be getting the Opus 2 on her right side. Will update after the appointment. We are still waiting in line for her left side. We hope it is not far behind. We are going to try to move up behind the ear when we get both.

Just wanted to update on Ashleys progress. She is doing so well. She is letting her teachers do more hand under hand. She is learning signs now. Her vocabulary is still very limited. She imitates a lot of sounds when she hears them. She likes to hear the bell on the elevator. When the door opens...

She is doing so much better with the new implant. It has only been right at 2 months now and she is at normal hearing levels on the new side. She is 1 year and 1 month on the old and it is very hard to get a consistent test. She just doesn't seem to get as clear or as good sounds from the old...

Ashley is doing great so far with her new implant. We had an audi appointment yesterday. She is hearing at 20-30db across the board. Her left side is almost 2 months hearing. Her right side is a year and a month hearing. She has started to pull the right side off some. I guess my question would...

I have a couple of moments. We have our first official word or words. Ashley has been repeating animal sounds and doing lots of singing(her version any way). Yesterday she slipped and I said uh ooh and she said it back to me. It caught me off so I did it again and she repeated it. I changed it...

So far so good. She is doing so much better. Eating and sleeping are not so bad. Knock on wood. Thanks for the support.

Ashley is very near sighted and has had glasses for a while. She wears her processor on her shoulders. We have not moved up yet. Her first glasses were so small. They had an elastic strap that went around her head almost like a head band. She grew out of those and now we have big girl glasses...

Ashley is doing better with her eating. She still does not want to drink. I get enough fluids in with fruits and veggies. We see her gastro doc this week. I hope she has gained and he will not push the feeding tube. She is still doing well with her new implant. We go next week for turn up. Can't...
