Paul's Cochlear Implant

March 2nd Paul had the long awaited surgery. His surgery started at 9:45 and took about 2 hours. The doctor said that everything went well, but we won't know until April 16th if it will
give him back some hearing. We are hopeful and the doctor is very positive!
In the first picture he is on his way to surgery.
Here he is after surgery........but not looking quite as good.
This is the day after the surgery when we had to change the dressing.......
....I am glad dad was here to help.
He is starting to return to normal........back on the computer and using the phone to text
his friends. His pain has been minimal since he came home from the hospital and for that
we are so greatfull!
