When they told us we would come home with a suitcase full of accessories, they were not lying. Thank goodness the upper level is assigned to the girls - it has saved us from not building an addition! Chloe is primarily wearing her AB Neptune processor, and yes, it is PINK! Chloe is doing amazing if you ask her mom!! For the most part she is leaving her CI (cochlear implant) alone and when she does pull at it she tries to give it to you. Sort of cute if you would ask me again. Brian and I are learning to go against the natural of saying "NO" when she pulls it off - and just naturally put the CI back on with out making such a big deal of it. Otherwise we have been told that it may become more of a game. I think for less than a week with the CI, she tolerates it well...
We have noticed limited reactions to noise/sound from Chloe but too understand it is very early in her hearing journey. ((But she might have proved me wrong here within the last few nights, as we have seen more reactions)) It may be months before we can get her to turn her head to the sound of her Daddy coming home or her sister running across the room, the amazing part is we know that she is HEARING. Chloe was a great the second day of activation and gave them all sorts of feedback to judge where she is at. However, we have noticed that her babbling has picked up tremendously which is good as it really died off about a month before surgery. We have been give such great feedback on how extremely well Chloe is doing from her audiologist and speech language pathologist. So encouraging to hear!! There have been a few times (for parents and daycare) that once Chloe hears a certain noisy toy or two she promptly shakes her head no and removes her CI. Hmm, I am thinking she doesn't like the sound of it, what do you think? |
