I'll try and find out more information for you. I am looking online for an update to this story. I think I also heard he just got the dog recently, but he requested it about 9 months ago. I guess it takes a long time for this to get approved. I think it's great that they can teach dogs to...

I just noticed this thread. I am not 100% familiar with the case, but I live in the area and have heard many things from therapists, etc. From what I know, he has a full time interpretor at school, and also has bilateral implants. Now I could be wrong on these facts, but I am pretty sure this is...

Good statement! I have to say that R2D2 is one of the fairest people on this site...one of the most considerate too! I think she truly gives good advice, and is fair to both sides. Thanks

Seems like all these little girls are fiesty!! Makes it fun! I hope they are not like that when they are teenagers!

Yep. She is just deaf in the severe to profound range. That is why she is not getting enough benefit from the hearing aids. DD - It's not what you suggested.

They do sound very much a like! Thanks for the encouragement! I really do think she will do well, so we will see. Just a funny side note... the other day I had to yell at my 5 year old son, and Victoria was just watching me. All of a sudden she took her hearing aids off... maybe she heard me and...

How is Lilly doing? I'm not sure if you have posted in the last few days. How long did she have to wear the big bandage? If I remember right you said she stayed over night. How did that go? Victoria will be staying over night too. I am staying with her and I am sending my husband home to be with...

I think Victoria isn't getting enough benefit either, and that is why she takes them off. Just my opinion. Plus I think she really hates the molds in her ear. I hope she does better with the CI. It seems your daughter as well as the others who posted got over taking it off, so I assume she...

That is a great idea you had!! Victoria's surgery is scheduled for February 7th, and her stimulation date is set for March 6th. Time is flying by!!

How is your daughter doing with her implant? I haven't kept in touch much, but I am sure everyone would like to know how she is doing. I am sure she is doing great!!!

I have to catch up with you more often! That is great he gives it to you. He sounds like such a wonderful little boy. I had the same kinds of concerns as ashleysmom. I can't imagine Victoria keeping it on either. She rips her hearing aids off now every chance she can get. I think she does it to...

That is how I felt too!!! LillysDad - I am so happy for you guys! I bet you are so relieved it's over!!! Keep us posted on her progress!

Good movie! Sorry I can't help you with the nickname. I can appreciate how nervous you must be right now. I really wish you guys all the luck tomorrow and I hope you and your wife get some sleep tonight!

Good luck with everything. She has a great mom to help her out, she will do great. My daughters surgery is scheduled for February 7th, and she will be 1 the end of January. How old did you say your daughter is? Sounds like your daughter has been through a lot in her little life. Hopefully...

I could not see a video, those things I don't want to know!!!

Thanks, that makes me feel better. I actually meant I don't think I can be there when they put her under. I know they sometimes ask a parent to be in the room, I don't know if I can do that. I didn't even like seeing her on the catscan table!

You and cloggy are killing me! I might have to send my husband in the room with my daughter. I just feel like they are probably so scared, and don't know why they are there. I don't know how I am going to do it in February. I think I am going to be a basket case. I am getting nauseous just...

That did go fast! Did you explain anything to her? Does she understand she is having surgery?

Happy New Year to you also! I am sure a lot of people have taken a break from this board because of the holidays, I know I have! It is funny that all three children are getting them within 2 weeks. I am getting nervous and excited. Your family and lillysdad have experienced this before, but...

The implant center did say that we get 2 processors, but they made a point of telling us to not open the second processor for any reason unless they specifically told us too. She brought up the warranty issue (like LillysDad stated), and also the fact that we could never switch it out with...
