I have been waiting to post an update because we have some cute pictures of Chloe that I have wanted to post. It has not happened so I am just going to go ahead and post without cute pictures which I know is not nearly as fun.
Chloe had her first implant on January 7th. She was so brave, she did great. The Dr. Said that everything went perfect and was very smooth and thought that there was a pretty good chance that he was able to save her residual hearing. She was the first surgery of the day so we were home that afternoon and Chloe was up and trying to run around with her sisters. Chloe had a few visitors and was thrilled with all of the gifts friends, neighbors and family brought her. I was thrilled with all the dinners :)
It seemed like the day for Chloe's implant activation took forever to get here. I was so anxious and nervous. I was so nervous that she would hate it and not want to wear it. But that was the opposite of what we have experienced so far! Chloe's implant was activated on Feb. 1st so it has only been a few days. But right from the day she got it she has been excited and wants to wear her implant ALL the time. I am exhausted with all the appts. but I know it will be worth it. Right now we are going to speech therapy 2x a week. We were able to start the day after her activation. Last week was a bit extreme I know, I had appts. everyday of the week most days 2 appts.
We are excited to see Chloe progress and to see what this year brings for Chloe .
