Whispers of relief.

We are so relieved to report that Priya is back to normal volume with her implants after a very challenging month.  This whole experience just about put us over the edge.  Now, she actually asks to put them on herself.  She also insists on wearing them to bed at night. I am sure so that she can hear and participate in the craziness with her brothers before they all fall to sleep.

This morning, I whispered a couple of questions to her without her looking at me and reading my lips.  She answered the questions!  It is at times like these that all the challenges of cochlear implants seem worth it.  I sometimes have to remind myself that she is profoundly deaf.  She can hear me whisper!
