Oh, oops! My bad! :fruit: So it's a month from today?!?! Yahoo! :rockon: So how many are already lined up to get implanted and how many to get "turned on"?

Um, Highlands, I'm hoping you meant threaD, not threaT? :giggle: And I wish the best for Ashley's bilat surgery in March (my grandson got his first implant last summer and is scheduled for 2nd one next month).

For real? Hmmm, never thought of that! :eek: And glad that your CI is a success! How long did you have it?

(maybe she's not up to the challenge?)

DD -- after so much discussion, WHAT ARE YOU??

Devon, the 25th is only 17 days away, just a bit more than 2 weeks and it'll be here before you know it! Keep on trucking, girl!!! :rockon: (you all probably think I'm obsessed with this icon but it fits my personality! LOL)

Hear Again -- "Lake Tahoe, I can't wait to read all about your activation! You'll have to tell us all about hearing Tyler's voice!" That made me smile! And yes you'll have to tell us about that! Well, rest well, girl -- you'll probably just :run: :hyper: in anticipation of the "turn on" day!

You're right, Double... I have both CDs; I think I actually learned more from the first story but it was nice to see that more deaf members of that family "joining in"!

Congratulations, Ismi! And Boult -- you going bilat? Wow, congratulations to you too! I'll forward this thread to Fragmenter for when he has time to read the links. Happy SOnday!

Cool! I've got that link bookmarked for reading later... (gotta get ready for church soon anyway). :ty:

Shel, I WAS in your shoes almost 10 months ago until our son Fragmenter and his wife VP'd us and told us they're seriously considering getting their 5-year old son Marshall implanted! I joined AD specifically for the HA/CI forum and tried keeping my mind open as I love our son unconditionally...
