We had Aubrey's surgery follow-up yesterday. Everything looks good and she is all set for activation next Wednesday. Her left ear tube is blocked due to drainage from surgery. We will need to monitor it and it may need to be replaced. For now, we will do ear drops and hope this does the trick. Never a dull moment.
Aubrey also received her "welcome" CI package that included a Koala Bear with an implant. She loves it, but has now removed the pretend implant processor from the bear and is trying to place it on her ear. She asks everyday to go to the doctor to get the implant turned on. She says: "implant, maybe today?" It's almost as if she understands that it may help her. She is a smart and intuitive little lady. She has handled this process beautifully.
The countdown continues...seven days until activation.
We are thinking of the three of you and hoping everything continues to go well.
