Well we went back to Iowa City today for another mapping. We went from 25 pulse width to 300. BIG jump. They said it is very rare that they turn them up that soon. The highest they can go is 400 so if we don't see anything at 300 within a week we go back for an X-Ray to make sure the implants are still in the correct spot. If they are then we can move it up a little more and if there is still no response than that's it. However they did think they got more of a nerve response today from the right side, still nothing on the left. But it's a start. They also said that they have had kids before who have taken a couple weeks to show a nerve response because it is so new their brain doesn't know how to process it. For those kids it ended up working fine and they are really benefiting frrom their implants so hopefully this is the case with Lanibug as well. That is about the only update we have. Still no definite answers but its a start.
