Rose went in for her implant yesterday, we received the outside part of the implant, and she heard for the first time.

I'm not sure exactly what she heard, but she was reacting to sounds. The implant is set very low right now, and over the next week we will turn it up slowly, since a bad experience is the last thing we want right now. She needs to get used to having something hanging off her head all the time, then get used to the sound itself. After that she needs to learn what the sound is, and how to interpret it.

So, its an exciting time, and we'll have exciting pictures later on.

Byee
