May 21, 2008

Yesterday was amazing.

David is already improving by leaps and bounds with his implant. He's turning off his hearing aid and just listening.

He heard Eloise humming, shaking her water cup, shaking her rattling toy, saying babababababa. He heard Jaime singing and could tell that he was singing. He heard the different tones on the piano. He heard the water click on in the dishwasher.

He heard me gasp when he kissed my neck when we were hugging.

I can't wait for the speech therapy to begin. His progress is much better already than I expected it. They tell you not to get too excited for the intial activation, so we were guarded.

This technology is simply amazing.

What a gift for our family.
