Filed under Caden, CCPS, Celebrating, Cochlear Implant, Crafts, Day to Day, Ella Kate, Friends, PreSchool | -- A couple weeks ago we went to The McWane Center to celebrate Dr. Woolley’s 300 implant recipients. He’s done many more than 300 implants since most of the kids he implants now are bilateral. EK wouldn’t look at the camera for our pic with Dr. Woolley…probably because the room we were in was LOUD and full of people. We are so thankful for the gift of cochlear implants and are forever grateful for them and Dr. Woolley. The McWane Center is such a neat place, but I -- thoughtfulness, and crazy. :) Filed under Caden, CCPS, Celebrating, Cochlear Implant, Day to Day, Ella Kate, Family, John Luke, PreSchool, Surgery | -- meet my expectations. :) Filed under Caden, CCPS, Cochlear Implant, Day to Day, Ella Kate, Fun with the Neighbors, John Luke, Therapy | -- pool because it was just too hard.

Phew, it worked. Sigh. Of. Relief. Come to find out…I got our audiologist to look at the implant cochlear sent us that wasn’t working properly and…it had NO MAPS IN IT! Cochlear sent us an empty CI. All of our implants are working properly at the moment and the empty implant has been mapped. It sure is nerve racking ometimes when we depend on an electronic device for our child’s hearing, but I’m oh so thankful for them!! Filed under Cochlear Implant, Disney, Ella Kate | Apr12 Did we find the implant? No. No we did not. Sad story. It was not for lack of trying. I went back up there about 9am.

This afternoon we headed over to our insurance agents office and got a -- purchase some other insurance through Cochlear which would allow us to lose one implant per year. I feel so much better about it all now. I am so thankful to the good ole boys who helped us yesterday and -- they did for us. They spent 7 hours of their day searching through the lake for our babies implant. I got to hang out with some motorcycle riding, overall and camo wearing, tobacco dipping, unemployed Southern guys.

We -- the replacement. Hopefully that will come within the next week. Filed under Cochlear Implant, Day to Day, Ella Kate | Post navigation
