9th July, 2008 - James got both implants during a 6 hour surgery at Christchurch Hospital, thanks to Phil and Darran Murray, the ENT surgeons. It was a little harder than hoped, and there was a bit of drilling to do through bone that shouldn't have been there. They had to remove one of the small bones in James' right ear as there just wasn't enough room to move around in his wee head, but as his ears are now just there to hold up his sunglasses, all is well.
And no, we hadn't forgotten about the $30K. We just kind of ignored it, and hoped for the best. Which happened in the form of the Cochlear Trust and David Kent, who have paid for the implant and are letting us pay them back over the next year. You guys are legends, and have made a stressfull time a lot less so.
