You guys are being way to kind. I am doing what I need to for her. I could have just pushed her aside because she is hearing and visually impaired. When I found out the docs wanted to take Ashley at 25 weeks I was terrified. I prayed every day till her birth and every day after for a chance to...

Her speech therapist is a licensed AVT. They switched Ashley to her when she was approved for Ci surgery. I always push to get Ashley things. I ask a lot of questions too. I call till they are tired of seeing my number of the caller ID. Thanks for the info by the way. She is also signed up with...

She has a case worker from the Virginia Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired. They come out and evaluate her every 6 months and send books, toys, and big kits of things to help her. They will help her until she says she doesn't need them. They have qualified her for all kinds of...

Thank you. I just want her to know she can do anything. She will just have her own special ways to do somethings. This makes her special. I want to give her all of the resources available to her to help her with communication. Hearing is not guaranteed with her Ci. Just as her vision could also...

I want her to learn braille as well as sign. With her history I want her to be able to communicate no matter what her future may hold. Even though things are improving they can go bad just as fast. They said she can start there at 3. She will be 2 in September. She can start a program through...

I understand busy. Ashley's daddy plays with her in the evenings when he gets home so I take a few mins to myself. We are going to have to go to the next meeting. Ashley had a doc appointment that ran long and we didn't get out in time to go. They are having another in April or May. I will have...

We went with the Med-El baby bte. I am not sure how the battery thing will work out but I have gotten some very good advice. Thanks. I am going to ask about her Medicaid paying also.

Thanks. I hope we get enough batteries to get us through a while. Just happened to think about that. It was one of the million thoughts I was having the weekend before surgery.

Yep it is the school in Hampton. They have been going over some things with us. Friday we will find out more.

Ashley has started to meet and pass some of her therapy goals. She is doing so well. I can't wait to see if it will make a difference once her Ci is activated. We go Friday to the deaf-blind school for a meeting to see what services they have for us. Ashley has also been released by another eye...

That is great news! Good Luck !! You are on your way.

Ashley is doing great. Her surgery follow-up went well. Her doc was impressed at how she was doing. She has NO swelling. Her activation date was finally set. We go in on April 5th in the morning. I am getting so excited to get her started with her new hearing. Her incision looks great too. You...

Ashley's activation date is April 5th. Follow-up went great. She is doing so well.

Awww. I am sure she will get the hang of it. It is like many have said. It will just take her some time to get used to. Congrats. Good luck today.

Ashley's surgery went great. She has been playing a little today. Thank you for all of the support.

Thanks! She is one tough cookie.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Ashley's surgery went well. :dance2: :dance2: We are back home now. Will write more later with a few pics. Thanks for the well wishes.

Is there any brand of battery that last longer or are they pretty much the same? I need to start thinking about this stuff. Surgery is Monday !!!

Her doc thinks it is a very long surgery for her to go through right now. She is still so small. She is only 14lbs 8 oz and her head is still tiny too. She also wants to make sure she will be a good Ci user. I feel she will do great. She is already meeting and passing her goals in therapy. They...

This is not same doc or surgery but I had to go out of network and out of state for my daughter to have eye surgery. She needed a pediatric glaucoma doc and the closest one was in Durham, NC. 4 hours away. Her primary eye doc wrote a letter to the insurance company and they approved for us to...
