Where'd it go?

Since Abby got her implant, she has been sticking her finger in her left ear, shrugging her shoulders, and saying 'where'd it go'. Once you get a CI your normal functioning ear functions no more. So any 'residual' hearing that Abby had in the left ear is now gone, and therefore no reason to stick a hearing aid on it.

We have a follow up with Dr Clary today. She is still doing amazingly well. I only give her Tylenol w/ codeine twice a day and she probably doesn't even need that anymore. I think this weekend I will try just regular Tylenol and see how she does, and then move her completely off anything for pain. She will keep taking anti-biotics for at least one more week.

Audiology called yesterday and wanted to move Abby's initial stim up to next week. I would have LOVED to do this, but Seth and I have already scheduled vacations for the original dates of 7/9 & 7/10 so we will keep the dates as is.

I just was pointed to a really awesome website www.deafvillage.com. It has links to tons of blogs of families dealing with deafness. I sure hope to make some new friends there as many of them have already been thru experiences we are just beginning.
