I know you mentioned once that her speech can be difficult to understand sometimes, but I was surprised she responded in writing to Eric. It is a long summer before going back to school, so I hope it works out that she just needs some downtime and then will turn the device back on.betty dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-20710437597184636192010-06-01T11:40:38.523-07:002010-06-01T11:40:38.523-07:00Christy -- she can hear absolutely nothing without...Christy -- she can hear absolutely nothing without the implant. She has a profound hearing loss in both ears. She is a relatively good lip reader so she can lead you to believe she understands what you are saying, but there are times she just acts like she understands, when it's clear she doesn't :)Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834197308019791700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-7013232104647369372010-06-01T02:47:28.837-07:002010-06-01T02:47:28.837-07:00That is so interesting to me that she doesn't ...That is so interesting to me that she doesn't want to wear the implant. I can't help but wonder why. Can she hear anything at all without it? I think I prefer Harlie not having any choice really, over any of her care. That must be so hard for you!!!!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158503749591171395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-77137601885800669142010-05-31T14:24:40.043-07:002010-05-31T14:24:40.043-07:00I'm sorry she's not wearing her implant, b...I'm sorry she's not wearing her implant, but as you say, it is her choice. I'm sure she will understand the need to wear it at school and work.<br /><br />Love the notes, really sweet.
