Ok so not really his ear turned on but that is what we call it. He got his cochlear implant turned on today what a fight that was. He didn't like being messed with at all. He dosen't like things on his ears so that dosen't help. But once we got home it went a little better. We picked maddie up from my parents house and put his implant on. Right now their is nothing on his ear he wears most of it on his back. Then the coil is on his head. We have to put it on alot cause of him being on the floor so much. It comes off pretty easy. But then we took the kids to the grocery store on our way home and kept it on him and he kept it on the whole time. If i can find a way to keep him busy for several hours a day i would have it made. It is when he thinks about it that he remembers it is there and pulls it off. But we caught him several times in the car trying to put it back on. That is awesome to see so soon I am hopeing that he catches on real quick that this is to help him hear and that he will love wearing it soon. He wants to talk so bad and this is going to give him that. There is a part that is called the processor that also has batteries hooked to it this is suppose to be on his ear since it also has the microphone in it. This is the part that right now we are hooking to his back. Then the coil is the part that hooks to his head or it is attached by the magnent that is in his internal part. We really do have high hopes for this but I know that it is going to be a struggle for awhile. But I am hopeing by this time next year that we will be able to tell him to shutup for awhile cause he will be talking so much. I am just kidding at that part. it was alot of stuff to take in and alot of parts and stuff. We get two of everything basically that way if one breaks we have a backup and all this stuff. So it was alot of stuff. But like I said it will be worth it. I will add pictures the next couple of days didn't really get any good ones today. He didn't like it so it took scott and i basically just to keep it on his head while they were trying to test it and program the device. So pray that it goes better for us this coming monday when we have to go back to cleveland and get it mapped again. The mapping basically tells the audiologist what he can hear and it sets the device so he can hear the right levels. Post more later.
