Activation tomorrow!

We are super excited about tomorrow's "activation" appointment!   We see one of the doctors at 12:45 to check on Sean's ear infections and then meet with Mr. Mike, CI audiologist, at 1 p.m.  Parents of children with CI's are told not to expect "too much" response at activation time, but because Sean had "some" hearing with his hearing aids, we may just get lucky and have one of those "YouTube Activation" videos to share!  Some children react by looking surprised, pointing to ear, smiling, or laughing!  On the other hand, the sudden, unfamiliar noise, can be frightening.  Either way, we are anxious to have Sean get his "new ears" turned on, so we can begin to teach him to hear.  Below are some favorite photos of Sean with his hearing aids aka "old ears!"  Enjoy!
