Surgery went good

Aidan had his 2nd cochlear implant surgery on July 22nd, 2009. Everything went fine, he of course had a hellacious time coming out of anesthesia, just like last time. Except this time it was worse b/c he wouldn't open his eyes so he fought me for a long time to get done, he didn't know it was me-couldn't see/hear me. But he wasn't in any shape to get down, so we ended up getting them to give him a little morphine, which settled him down and then he slept most of the afternoon away. He was doing pretty good by 7pm, walking around, playing a little, even ate him a slice of pizza. The next day we went to his post op appt, he was glad to have the bandage removed. We then took him to the zoo and he had a great time.

2nd Cochlear Implant Scheduled

We found out yesterday(June 1, 2009) that our insurance has approved Aidan to receive a 2nd cochlear implant. He is scheduled for surgery on June 22, 2009. It is all happening very fast but we are thankful he is getting the chance to hear out of both ears and are hoping it is just as much a success as the 1st one.
