Surgery is Scheduled!

Originally, we were going to do one implant when Logan turns 1 and the second implant about 6 months later. However, when we went to see his ENT recently, he said that Logan's hearing test results were so much on the fence that you could make an argument to do one at a time or to do them both together. We told him that our preference would be to do them both at once and only have to go through the surgery once. So he said he would talk to Logan's audiologist, and if she was on board, we would do them both when he turns 1.

Well, we heard from the doctor's office last week to schedule his surgery and they scheduled bilateral implants (both ears)! The downside is that since the surgery is twice as long we could not get it scheduled right after his birthday at the beginning of July like we had hoped. So now he is scheduled to go in for his implants on July 25th. Here's hoping there is a cancellation so we can get in before then!

We are so excited to get his new “ears” and to begin his therapy for this. I know his wonderful teachers are excited to see how he does as well.

For those of you that don't know, this is what he will be wearing:
