The Garden

Its been such a calm winter Chris is already getting his garden ready. With the help of Bill, Ryan, and Gary we shouldn't have to go the grocery store again!!!

Turning on the implants

Today was the day we turned on the implants for the first time. Madelyn heard what the audiologist expected. During the 3 hour appointment she reacted to the buzz noises and was a very cooperative two year old. Especially since it was during nap time. By the end of the first night she was reacting to our voices. She even tells me when the implants fall off or are not working corectly. We put them on one time and she signed and said "mom, I hear you" That was awsome!!!!!

Back from Surgery

Madelyn had bi-cochlear surgery done on Friday the 30th of January. She was discharged from the hospital saturday about 10:30am. Saturday she was groggy and in a little pain. But by sunday she was up and around like nothing ever happened. It is hard to follow her around because its a game to her. Mommy is right beind her at all times so lets push chairs in her way and slam doors right in front of her. Lots of fun here now!!!!! But I am so glad she is feeling well. Thank you everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers. We are scheduled to turn them on Tuesday the 10th of February. So one week from today. We can't wait!!!!!
