The summer has been really busy and I haven't had time or energy to do any updates! We did find out one thing recently, Lani is going to be a big sister! We couldn't be more excited! Baby #2 will be born a month before Lani turns 2. So we will be busy!!!
We have still been making the journey to Iowa City every two weeks for audiology appointments. At the last one they sedated Lani and did a CT scan to make sure the implants were in the right place--they are. They also did another ABR while she was out. They only had time to do it on her right side. They were getting nerve response on the ABR. However, the level was so high that they don't think Lani would be able to process speach sounds. They want us to try the CIs for a year and see if anything improves. They know the left ear has hardly anything. Not very excited about this update. I just want to know which way we are going-signs or CIs. Plus I hate fighting Lani to wear them when they don't do anything for her! But I guess we will keep trying. I did manage to make a cute headband that helps to keep them on:
