Surgery Tomorrow

Lily's bilateral CI surgery is tomorrow. We have to be at the hospital at 8:00 a.m. and surgery is supposed to start at 10:00. I've been looking forward to this all summer and now, suddenly, I'm feeling scared and nervous. Yes, I want my baby to hear and I'm excited for that, but I wish she didn't have to have surgery. So say a prayer for Lily tonight. I'll post surgery pics as soon as I can. Also, Lily will NOT be able to hear tomorrow. The incisions behind her ears need to heal before she can wear the processors behind her ears. So she won't be able to hear for about 3 more weeks. Her activation day is scheduled for August 31.

    I was in your shoes 5 short months ago...it is agonizing but you will get through it and kids are resilent! She will be totally back to normal by tomorrow night and you will be SO thankful you did this for her! Briggs progress is AMAZING and he will never remember the surgery! I'll say a prayer and good luck!

    This was the hardest part for me ... the surgery. It seemed that once it was over and we knew Aiden was ok, a huge weight was lifted off my chest and it's been uphill ever since (well, of course with some downfalls along the way!) We're saying prayers for Lily and mom & dad! Can't wait to hear how it goes! Thoughts are with you!

    I am with Tammy. From diagnosis to surgery was so difficult, but when surgery is over, things move so quickly and you only have time to focus on success.

    It is the first day of a new life for Lily. Prayers for you all today and also for a quick and uneventful recovery.

    Was thinking about you and Lily yesterday. Hope everything went well with the surgery.
    Keep us posted on how things are going with the recovery and activation. Can't wait to hear how she is doing. Let me know if you need anything or have any questions.
