Final Appointments and Waiting

...on a date for surgery, that is.

Jace's surgeon is booked through the end of May, but he is seeking to borrow an OR to do Jace's CI asap. Yesterday we met with the psychologist who explained how hearing and the brain work early in life.  Unfortunately, Jace is older than they would have liked for implantation, but he's still a good candidate.  From what I gather they think he will in fact hear sounds, but just how much sound is unclear.  Cognitively, he is right where he is supposed to be.  Which is such a good thing!  In the meantime, I will continue to pursue any avenue I can to help him accomplish as much hearing and speech development as possible.  It doesn't help though when Jace pulls out his hearing aids and hides them under my bed.  haha..can you picture it?

I am just WAITING for Hopkins to call me with a surgery date!!!  Any day now...
