What a wonderful morning. We met our friends who recently had their son, Adrian, implanted at 9 months. We saw him for the first time today at breakfast in Boulder with baby Liam. His implants are the newest, latest and greatest and he didn't even seem to mind they were on. I was shocked being that a lot of our friends with children who have implants complain that keeping them on their tiny head is the hardest part. He is doing great with his bionic ears and we are so amazed still that there is technology out their to enable kids to have spoken language and to hear sound.
Lion's newest talents include waving to and fro, winking...yes, we wink at him and he "winks" back with both eyes, with all his might opening and closing his big blue eyes. It is about the funniest thing I have seen him do yet. He is into everything, including my weights in the basement, and learning sign. We are only teaching but a few signs for now since after he will be implanted we will focus on auditory verbal and will most likely drop the sign.
Liam has 2 teeth on top and 4 in the bottom. I cannot believe how time is flying. He isn't walking by himself yet, but I am sure once he gets up the confidence to break away from the ottoman, he will be going full blast.
We have all been sick for about two weeks now. First, me with the croup, then Charles got a cold and now Liam. I never thought I would see the day when Charles was really sick because he has such a strong immune system.
Well, lets hope this week will be the week we hear something back from United Healthcare. Hopefully good news and a surgery date!
