See October 15th:)

I just noticed that since I started the blog entry I posted last night a bit ago, it posted BELOW the one I posted last week. So, in order to read the latest entry, scroll down and read about the reading scores started on October 15, but posted October 25th:)

Chance was diagnosed as severely to profoundly deaf at about 35 months old. It was determined that he went deaf at about 13 months of age. He received loaner hearing aids through the Utah School for the Deaf, and later we purchased top-of-the-line Widex PowerDiva hearing aids. We fought insurance all the way to the top to cover the hearing aids, but our insurance company called them "cosmetic", and "an educational issue". We fought for about 18 months to get our insurance company to cover a cochlear implant. They finally approved it, and his surgery was on May 5, 2006. The implant was activated on June 1, 2006. This blog chronicles the lead-up to the initial surgery, the surgery and recovery, activation, and his ongoing progress. Chance received a second implant on Sept. 8, 2006, so we now get to chronicle his experience and progress with 'bilateral' implant-aided hearing. Come back often to check on the his status and progress.
