Hi everyone. Some of you may remember me, some of you may not. You can check my posting history if you want. I just wanted to provide an update for those that are interested. If you're going to reply to this with something negative, please ignore that urge and move along. Thanks.
My son Evan had bilateral CI surgery on Sept 4. Originally it was supposed to be Aug 28, then that date was changed. After that the date was changed three more times, with 1 days notice! That was very frustrating for my wife and i.
The surgery was a sucess, everything looks very positive. He's getting better and better everyday, but we can tell that he's frustrated. When he had his HA's he was getting some sound, but since the surgery he's had nothing, that must be hard for him. Plus, he seems to shake his head, sort of like when someone shakes their head when they get water in their ears. I guess he feels pressure or something, i wish i could tell. He has his follow up with Dr. Papsin tomorrow, so we'll ask all our questions then.
He gets the equipment on Sept 22, and has his first of 4 activations on Sept 30, and we are really looking forward to it.
