Re Maya's Surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thanks for the update on Maya, so great to have that part behind you

and over with, I am sure you are greatly relieved. I am looking

forward to hearing all about her activation and the many CI Moments to

come, a tip for you – don’t “Flush” when she is in the bathroom for

the first little while, that was one of the most annoying sounds after

my activation and I suspect it could be almost frightening for a 3

year old, sudden sounds like that may be a bit scary for her in the

beginning so watch for the running taps, crinkling paper and plastic,

and that kind of thing. I developed a habit soon after my activation –

“Flush & Run” I would hit the handle and bolt out of the bathroom to

escape the sound –lol my wife thought it was a riot.

Hi All!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that Maya had her surgery yesterday

at St. s

Hospital in Los Angeles and she seems to be doing well. No nausea or

vomiting or a

blackeye (doctor warned us this might happen). She seems to be doing

well until it nears the

time for her next dose of tylenol (like now...), but other than that

just the normal swelling

and irritibility that a soon to be 3 year old would have. The doctor

was concerned that with

her condition, he wouldnt be able to get full insertion, but that was

not the case. It's all in as

if she had a normal formed cochlea! We are so blessed and thankful

that everything came

out ok. Thanks for everyones support!
