Alexander had his cochlear implant surgery on his left ear this past week. He's doing well but somewhat uncomfortable...as we all would feel. The doctor was very happy with the procedure and was positive with his outlook.
Waiting in the outpatient surgical room at Hopkins always gives me a taste of humble pie. Hearing loss seems like a small fight compared to the battles the other children in the recovery room are faced with every day. My heart was touched by a brave little girl with beautiful big brown eyes. Looking into her eyes was a moment into her soul. She will be back for another surgical treatment next week.
As for our family, if we can get through the next few days without any issues we'll be back to "normal."
Calm and ready for surgery at 6:00am.
