Hattie's Activation



We want to thank everyone for all your continued prayers for Hattie during surgery and after.  She has recovered really well and doesn't even seem to realize that she had surgery!  

Today was activation, as most of you know, and it went well.  She didn't have a "YouTube moment", but that's why those videos are on YouTube in the first place :)  



Holly, our Audiologist, putting the processor on Hattie



We had prepared ourselves for not much of a response, especially because she has been responding in her hearing aids.  Our Audiologists are very conservative in the beginning as the child is getting used to wearing and hearing from the implant.  Her implant is set very low and will gradually be turned up over the next couple of months.  

If we are honest, we were hoping for a big moment.  But the fact that she didn't have much of a reaction is reassuring that she has been hearing this whole time with her hearing aids; hopefully, we can turn up her implants a little faster because of this.  

We will continue to keep everyone updated on her progress.  Thank you again for all your love and support!
