Bebo had surgery on September 1st. He received his 1st cochlear implant. It will be activated on September 1st which is next week. We are excited and nervous all at once. Many of you know we were not going to do the cochlear but things have come up and felt that it was a MUST for him.
His recovery has gone well. He had pain probably the first couple days but the pain meds took care of that. He is back to himself and full of spunk. Here is a picture of his surgery site just two days after.They used surgical glue instead of stitches and the site looks much better today.
I'll post his progress with his CI when they turn it on. :)
Ok, bad blogger, since you teased us with Bebo, let us hear what is going on with the rest of the gang. And please, do not forget to share about September 1! I cannot wait to hear about what he hears. And what else is new? An addition to the family? Anything? Take care...it was good hearing from you.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad blogger- a busy one! Have thought of you often and am thankful to see the exciting news today about his implant! What an amazing thing it will be for him to hear for the first time. Thanks so much for taking the time to update. Looking forward to the next one- now matter when it comes. :0)
ReplyDeleteYep, not bad but busy.
ReplyDeletePlease do share about the implant. You know I'll be reading.
And btw, thanks for the email. I will get with you next week.
I really appreciate it!
