Today was Victoria's big day! She was cranky going into it, so that didn’t help. After they got all the equipment on her, she wasn't too happy about the ear piece. She cried on and off at certain beeps. For the most part she was not happy about any of it, which I guess means she was hearing something. Once they said she can now hear speech, she cried more. It was a funny cry though, like she was playing with us. She wouldn't open her ears, almost like she was scared, but it wasn't a scared cry. After some time she calmed down and they tried again. She cried on and off, but they said she did well. We upped the volume and sensitivity tonight and she seems ok with it. Tomorrow we go back for more programming. I haven't seen any real responses to sound yet. I have to keep reminding myself this is a process and it will take time.
Right now she has the harness on, but I am not sure how long that will last. She doesn't like the ear piece at all, and it's not worth trying to keep it on her. I would rather come up with a way to clip it to her clothing, but it doesn't seem like the cable (or coil) is very long. When she goes to sleep I have to figure out what to do. So Day 1 went ok, hopefully tomorrow will be better!
