Alot has happened this week. Chloe got ANOTHER ear infection this week. It seems like they are never ending! I feel so bad for her.
We had a really hard time getting her into a doctor when we knew she had an infection, it was so frustrating! I had called our ENT, the nurse, our audiologist with primary, our family practitioner and could not get a hold of any of them. Finally at the end of the day we had a perscription called for drops called in for her. I also finally got a call back from the audiologist. She had some big news for us.
The company we had decided on going with for Chloe's implant Advanced Bionics had a recall! So we had to decide to go with the other company Cochlear or wait for no one knows how long for Advanced Bionics to get things worked out. It really was not a hard decision. We don't want to wait and we were concerned that this is the 2nd recall we have heard of with advanced Bionics. I am just thankful that Chloe does not have one of the recalled devices now.
Next week on Tuesday we get to go pick out colors for her implant! We also have to have her ear tubes checked to see if one side is still out of place. If it is we may have to do a surgery to have it fixed. Her ears have to be clear for her implant surgery and we are almost only a month away from her surgery date of Jan. 7th. I am really praying that it is ok. I hate to have to put her through another time of putting her under and we really don't want to have to pay for it again!
I have had a few friends and neighbors talk to me about doing a fundraiser to help us raise some of the 10,000.00 we have to come up with for the implant. Not sure yet what we are going to do it's a pretty busy time of year for everyone!! I am just thankful to have great friends and neighbors who want to help us. I love Chloe so much and just want for her to succeed I am getting excited and nervous for her to receive this amazing gift of receiving a implant.
