Just finished our "pre-op" day--thought we might have time to shop a little--but no such luck!
Started the day with a thumbs up from the surgeon....then headed to the hospital for a pre-op with the children's surgery specialist. She checked Michelle out, answered all her questions and reassured her of the procedures for tomorrow. Michelle came away relieved, I think.
Then we headed upstairs to audiology to meet with Danielle. She's a great audiologist. Michelle got to see the new hearing aid (she wanted to see the acual implant, but it had already been sent to the OR and was sealed up anyway!) We scheduled the "stim" appointments (short for stimulation--what we call "hook up" or mapping) for April 29th. That'll be the big day--when we "turn on" the new implant. That procedure, like the surgery had changed drastically in the last ten years. More details about that when we get through tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone who has wished Michelle well...we're ready for tomorrow and to have this part behind us.
I'll try to post a few pics just before and after surgery tomorrow before we head back home to Chico.
