Aiding Aria

This girl amazes me every day. Kara put the implants on one by one, activated each individually and then put them on at the same time. Aria didn’t flinch and spent probably around an hour after, didn’t touch the implants, moan or complain once. Another good sign💕 only when we got in the car and one knocked off she decided she was too tired to have them on and then passed out in her car seat🦋I’m currently waiting very impatiently for her to wake up so we can put them back on 🦻

Aria did absolutely amazing she wasn’t scared or overwhelmed. It almost seems anticlamatic because you would expect her to cry, maybe smiles, and your immediate reaction is for her to respond to voices. Unfortunately it’s a bit more complicated than that, she was super calm which means she was not overwhelmed or scared at all probably from the little she could hear with the hearing aids. Aria needs to learn what to do with sound now and what sound is for. Think of her ears as a new born babies, they only really start responding to noises at 3 months so that’s actually when we will see major differences in her responses. For now she is hearing everything all at once all backround noises and static and mumbles really. That’s why when it’s quiet she responded to the knocking it was a very distinct sound. This has made us so happy though and we can’t wait to watch her develop and grow every single day.
