Sick of them yet? Too bad.

It is amazing how quickly he's healed up. His hair is growing in now, and we're back to "normal" (in quotations because I have yet to figure out what normal really is...).

17 days until activation.

Stitches are out!!!

We were scheduled for an appointment this afternoon for David to get his stitches out. In the morning, the office called and asked if we could come in this morning instead. Apparently his surgery got bumped because equipment wasn't there on time (I'm SO glad that didn't happen to us) so he needed to shuffle his schedule around.

We hopped in the car and off we went.

Everyone in the office was all smiles when they saw David. The nurse that took us back thanked us for the flowers that we had sent to the office after surgery. They had worked their tails off to get his surgery approved and back on the books for Monday (that's another story that I'll tell at a later time).

Dr. Cameron came in and took a look at David and told him that it looked perfect and that he had taken very good care of it :) Then out came the stitches. We were thinking we were done, and getting ready to go when Dr. Cameron told us to hang on for a minute.

In he comes with a big box. It felt like Christmas. The box was David's external parts to the cochlear implant. Two processors, batteries, a carrying case, a big electric dry aid, re-chargers for the batteries, just lots of stuff. Fun stuff. Amazing technology.

The initial mapping session is going to take place on May 19th at 1:00.

*sigh*

Now, pictures.

The VERY exciting big box:

Weezy likes it too!

Bandages are off!

The stitches look good. David is relieved to have the pressure off his head, those bandages were tight :)







Jaime is afraid to look at him now :( Poor thing. He'll have fun going back with Nana today.

The next step is getting that hair washed (later today) and getting the stitches out (Monday)
