Ft Wayne visit

We had a good visit with the doc. (Audiologist) on Thursday. She is not the doc who will be doing the surgery, but the doc who will be doing all the follow ups and technical stuff on the cochlear implants once they are done...

She first had to test Lisa to see if she is a good candidate for cochlear implants, and to see if she can be helped with hearing aids, instead.

Hearing aid test was funny... If you have a sick sense of humor like me...

Left Ear with hearing aid.... 0%

Right Ear with hearing aid.... 6%

Definately not a pass.. :-)

So she is a candidate for the implants, a particularly good one because the hearing loss is recent, and her speech is still fairly normal...

Unfortunately, the next appointment we could schedule for to meet the surgeon was June 24th.

That is disappointing that it will take so long just to see him. Then the surgery is scheduled, assuming the business/insurance side of the transaction is squared away...

So we have a little down time... it seems. But Lisa doesn't want down time.

So... We are in Ft Wayne this weekend, visiting our church here, and seeing many friends from 3 years ago...

Including the folks in the picture, Rob & Jenny... They've been so kind to host us...

And their kids were high on the list of kids our kids have to see in America...

Caleb really wanted to see their 8 year old.. Josiah. So they have the opportunity now..

I think we weren't at their house 1 hr before Caleb and Josiah both fell in the creek out back of their house.... :-) Boys were having oodles of fun, though...

We hope to get to see many of you during our time here in the States. We just can't promise tomorrow! :-)

Thanks for stopping by!
God Bless

Tom and Lisa
