This past weekend I spent with my sister and finally came home monday after meeting with my surgeon/doctor. On Saturday morning I spent with my niece and nephew playing with them. My niece discovered my processor and enjoyed pulling it off my ear, Austin watched what was going on and gave a curious look to me. I asked him if he wanted to know what was on my ear and he said "yes." I gave him a simple answer "it helps me to hear you." He smiled back and than went on playing and we had a great time throwing balls as we were having a snowball fight.
My doctor was greatly pleased with my progress and glad to see me doing so well. He wants me to continue what I am currently doing and is confident that things will continue this way. I am to continue to follow up with Hopkins, he gave me another doctor to see as he is leaving JH at the end of the year. We ended our meeting with getting a picture and a big hug. He has made a huge impact in helping me so much. As I am sad that he is leaving, I am grateful for the care and the difference he made in my life in regaining my ability to hear again. I know that I will be in good hands with the doctor he recommended. I know that God provided what I needed at the right time and the doctor I needed.
This week has been busy and trying to work with the left ear in hearing speech. It has been more a challenge hearing speech in the left ear verses when I was activated on the right. I was able to make out things sooner. I know it will come. I am enjoying having the two ears working and being able to tell direction. I do notice when I remove one processor something is missing. I love having both ears working and it is a miracle and gift to be regaining my hearing. Yes it is back working to train the hear to hear again and the crazy sounds continue, but I continue to praise the Lord that I can hear. I just keep on swimming forward.
I will leave you with a song that I sang in my care group last night "Never Once."
