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...

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 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 was wondering if any parents have had issues with their kids not wanting to sleep at night. Ashley is VERY active. She hates to slow down for anything. I am having so much trouble getting her to go to sleep at night. It is after 10 PM most nights and sometimes later before she will go down...

Just wanted to share the great news. Ashley has been found a candidate for her second implant. Her doc called this morning to set a date. We are scheduled for Feb. 13. We still need to go to the audi appointment tomorrow. This is more for my benefit than theirs. I requested another test to be...

I am in need of some suggestions once again. Ashley has discovered how to pull the cover off of her processor, take the coil wire off of the magnet, and then tries to pull the wire loose from the processor. She loves to examine things to see how they work. She thinks this is a game. I have tried...

Any advice for feeding issues? It is so hard to get Ashley to eat solids. With a hearing child you can talk it up make funny sounds and make it fun. With her not hearing for so long and now having to start from newborn hearing level it is hard to hold her attention and get her to accept the...

FINALLY, THE BLONDE JOKE TO END ALL BLONDE JOKES A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get it started." Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"...

Everything went very good today. Ashley had what we think a few responses to sound. She would open her eyes and cut toward the sound. She was also very still. She is never still. She got sleepy and took a cat nap while I learned about her processor. She woke up and we pinned it on. Her audi made...

INSTALLING HUSBAND Dear Tech Support, Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance -- Particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0...

Its me again. Another question. Has anyone had to work with the implants and eye glasses? I am hoping we won't have any problems. I was just wondering if any issues have popped up and any good advice on how to make them compatible with each other on such a small head. Ashley just got new big...

I am curious. How well do the magnets stay on very active kids. Ashley is never still. I have a hard time keeping her glasses on so I am imagining this won't be easy either. I happened to think of this while we were playing today and she almost turned a flip by herself.

I appreciate all views about CI and the surgery. I know we will have ups and downs. Only Ashley and the good Lord above know how this will turn out. We are cautiously optimistic. Ashley has never followed any rule books. She has been writing her own from birth. The doctors told us she only had a...
