Hope all is well with Little George?
Love and hugs to you all and hope he recovers quickly from the op x x x x
Friday was a long day he was taken to theatre at 9 and by midday the surgeon came out and told us there was a problem. He had opened up behind his left ear and started the drilling but georges ear was so full of gunk and infection the surgeon thinks could have been there from birth it was that bad so they couldnt insert the implant. He thought the right ear may be the same but said he was going to try. Off he went back to our boy.
The hours passed and finally at 5.30 pm the op was finished and we got to see him, he was soo groggy and sick but I finally got my cuddle i had been waiting for all day! The surgeon said his right ear was fine and managed to insert the implant.
AS much as it was a long day and disappointing not to get both implants in and will possibly need to return in feb for another op. We had always had doubts about his left ear as he had started to respond to sound on his left side and was having what was calle don apeak on tests. Therfore myself and the surgeon have requested he has further hearing tests on that ear now that it has been cleaned out, he is on anti-biotics and had a gromit inserted and see how he goes.
We are back to the hospital tomorrow and will get a date to go back and have everything externally fitted and switched on and hope to see some resullts.
I think I have got everything in but thankyou to everyone for being so supportive especially the messages on facebook it honestly kept me going on friday .

George is great he was switched on on Monday and is doing so well he even gets upset when we take his supports off of him so we know they are doing something, we wont see too much improvement just yet as its a graduall process.
But, xmas eve I got my xmas present i put music on and he started dancing and I clapped but he couldnt see me a couple of hours later and he clapped too just copying the sound so all great.
Thank you so much for your support and hope you have had fab xmases and all have a happy new year. I will try and post some pics when i get longer than 5 minutes to myself xxxx
My friends little boy was switched on Monday or Tuesday too-in Nottingham.
I'm glad to see that he is getting something from all the processes over the last few months-I bet you see him coming on in leaps and bounds now!!
Look forward to new updates soon!!
