Doctor's Appointment

Michelle and I drove to San Ramon the night before our doctor's appointment and spent a wonderful evening with Michelle's cousin, aunt, and uncle. Lucky us! The next morning, we met with the new surgeon (the original surgeon retired a few years back!) and we really liked her: Dr. Stidham. She was very supportive of our decision to move forward with a 2nd implant for Michelle. Within two days of our appointment with her, Danielle Knowlton, the audiologist at CHO (Children's Hospital Oakland) called with a tentative date: April 4th! That's right around the corner...so that's the current status. We are waiting for insurance approval and a call from the hospital to schedule the pre-op.
