Just a quick not to tell you that Gwyneth's cochlear implant activation was successful! It will take some time for her to get used to this new device on her head, and probably a few months if not more before we begin to see her speech improve because of her new hearing. We'll return a few times over the next several months to have the audiologists adjust the settings until they get it exactly right for her needs.
If you want to learn more about the exact implant system Gwyneth has, you can read about the
Cochlear Nucleus System here.

Gwyneth's new hearing!
Gwyneth's new friend, a koala with implants just like hers!
Highlight of our trip...Gwyneth bumped into a North Carolina hero in the lobby at Duke...do you know who this is?

Oh my goodness....how cool is that?!
My gosh, she really has her Mama's smile! My niece had the same surgery 7 yrs ago. Best of luck Gwyneth!
That's great! I hope it works well for her!
Awesome news! Glad it was a success. That was icing on the cake meeting Richard Petty!
Gosh, she is absolutely adorable! So glad the implants are successful!
How awesome! We make some trips to Duke also. Would love to meet him! How is she doing with the cochlear implants now?
