Update for surgery

We have gotten a little more information on the surgery schedule. We have a pre-op appt on Sept. 26, surgery on Sept. 27 and a post-op appt on Sept. 28. We'll probably be sick of the car after that much time in it driving to New Orleans. It could be worse - I've seen where some families have traveled over 10hrs to get to a surgeon. Hopefully there won't be a lot of traffic everyday (who am I trying to kid - it's New Orleans - it's always a parking lot :) We also have a post-op Oct. 5. Landon will be a first for the surgeon - he hasn't done simultaneous bilaterals before. He said it only takes him an hour for one ear so it shouldn't be that long of a surgery doing both.

Landon's activation is set for Oct. 29 at 9:00. We are hoping to take video of it so we can post it on the website so everyone can see his first reaction to sound. We've been warned that most start crying but we have also seen some where the kids either show no response or are happy to hear. He smiles every day when he sees his hearing aids coming at him so hopefully he'll like the sound he'll get with the CI's.
