:( It's not working....

  I wanted to take a picture today of Chad with his

Cochlear Implant transmitter on and working.

However that was not to be...

Chad could hear nothing.

Two weeks ago when he had the surgery to install

the implant we waited and waited and waited.

It was very stressful so when the doctor finally showed up

he said "what normally takes 45 seconds took 45 minutes.

There was so much inflammation that if we would have waited

it probably would not have happened at all."

Today they did all the testing and Chad had no response at all.

The audiologist said it's possible that as the inflammation

goes down he might start to hear.

So we are hoping for that is the case for Chad.
