We have been very busy since I last updated, Cooper’s surgery is still August 2nd only 16 days away! We have his activation day scheduled it’s scheduled for August 23rd , 37 days and counting, that will be the big day his audiologist will turn on his processor for the first time then we go back the next day for them to turn it on a little more! It’s so exciting to imagine what he will be thinking the first time he can clearly hear us. They will be doing one ear at this surgery we’re not for sure which ear, they will test him the morning of the surgery to see which ear responds the best, that will be the one they will implant first. The surgeon said as long as his surgery goes well and he responds well with the first surgery then they will try to do the next surgery hopefully by October. That’s what we’re praying for, wouldn’t that be great. We have decided to try to teach his some sign language, mostly till he has the ability to talk. It has been a very heavy topic at my house, but I feel it would be to his advantage to learn some so he can have a way communicate, there’s no way to tell when he will be able to talk. What a year can bring, you’re told your child can’t hear you and never will without an intervention, to him having the ability to hear. We’re so excited to see what God will do! August will be a very busy month we already have 6 doctor’s appointments on the calendar. We will continue to update on how Cooper is doing, we appreciate every thought and prayer they are needed and felt.
