Very exciting news. We met with the surgeon yesterday and he says
that Brian's cochlea is perfect. Nothing wrong there so we can go
ahead and have the surgery without complications (hopefully). He's
seemed like a very nice guy. He said that the person who had a baby
was ahead of us and had just had the surgery last week. If he would
have known we were in the waiting room, he would have let us see the
incision he made on the other baby to show us there is no scarring
behind the ear. Anyways, our surgery is set for June 9. The pre-opt
is June 1. We will meet with the anasthesiologist that day as well as
the rest of the other physicians that will be monitoring Brian in the
room. They monitor the facial nerve to make sure there is no facial
paralysis. As the doctor was describing all that was going to happen,
I was about to break down and cry all over again. I just want to get
this over with so I can have a "hearing" child again.
