Day 1 or Start Up Day

Today we took Bryce to get his cochlear implant turned on. The audiologist is super sweet and highly positive. We feel like the specialist gives us more of a bottom up perspective and she is much more hopeful.

We were told not to look at the youtube videos. I've seen some of them and they are amazing. I pulled out my camera to record his response but it was pretty vague. He seemed to hear her clap but also seemed pretty interested in the toy he was playing with. We really won't know for a while I think. Right now, he can't hear speech, just really loud sounds.

The fire alarm was going off when we were leaving. I thought for sure he would hear it but if he did, he didn't seem to respond. We still have a long road ahead with frequent adjustments and speech therapy.
