Carolina Jethro:
How is Lisa doing?

Rennhack:
Lisa is doing well.  She is starting to respond to sound and babble a little.

SloGlo:
very good!  very, very good!!!

Rennhack:
1 year later...

Well, it’s been 1 year, so an update is in order.

Lisa had another surgery yesterday, to have the other ear (right) implanted with another cochlear device, in the hopes of her having hearing in both ears.  The Dr. learned her unique anatomy last time, and had no major 'near death' complications this time.  She is back home and recovering.

The first ear (her left) has been turned on for 11 months, and at its 'fully on' setting for 10 months.  At her last hearing testing Lisa passed (that’s what her mother says, I wasn’t there… on the road working and all).  Lisa is doing a lot of vowel chatting, and is doing well according to her speech therapist.

That’s the annual update, see you next ear… err year… she is out of ears to do.

Marlin:
Last I heard the right ear may not be operable, I'm very glad to hear that was not the case. Hopefully she won't experience the same trama she experienced on the last one when it was turned on.
