First an update. Robby is finishing kindegarten this June. He loves school. The BAHA (hearing aide) has been wonderful for him. Once he started wearing it, his speach really took off. He still has language issues related to his hearing loss and learning a whole new language. He tends to drop the ends of words (common among the hearing impaired) and doesn't use pronouns and prepositions very well. Over all he is right on target for kindegarten. He is a wiz at reading and math.
If you are reading this, you probably know that Robby is going to have ear reconstruction surgery this week. I will post more about the process on Wednesday, the actual surgery date. We (Robby and Becca) are flying to Los Angeles CA on Monday May 3 in order to have the surgery with Dr. John Reinish. I hope to be able to post pictures while we are there. I have a new camera, so I will have to see how it goes. A warning in advance, some of the pictures might be a bit graphic. I will try not to post any that are too bloody etc, but let the squimish beware.
