Another big day for Sophie! Today we took Sophie in for her second cochlear implant. Left ear this time. Doc said it took a bit longer but everything went perfectly. Two very nice Cochlear reps and our favorite audiologist were all in the operating room and were wonderful support. We had a lovely nurse from Kona who cared for Sophie in post-anesthesia care. I'm glad she only has two ears as I really couldn't take another one of these.
This kid is really something special. After all of this medical stuff, hardly a fuss. Here are some pics:

Julie! Erin Moreland here! I just saw the link to your blog through Charles and need to wish you a very late congratulations on your beautiful baby! Looks like you've had quite a year. You're so brave and Sophie is adorable! She takes surgery like a champ! Hope she heals quickly and the implants do their thing! Much aloha from Seattle.
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin. So nice to hear from you. Hope all is going well in Seattle. We miss you at Dole street. Come visit us at the new Center on Ford Island next time you visit. Its HUGE and pretty amazing...especially the monk seal tanks!
