All going well

Hey there everyone. Just a wee note to say that all is going incredibly well in James' world. He is right where he should be developmentally according to our neuro-development lady, and he is up on hands and knees rocking, just gagging to be following Cameron around now.
Hearing wise - James is loving his implants (and loving the taste of them! they spend a lot of time in the drying kit at the moment, having been liberally smeared with baby spit) and is 'talking' like every other nearly 8 month old. We have noticed quite a difference between right and left, however, as we have had to leave one then the other off for a few days at a time. (James' favorite form of motion is to arch up on heels and the back of his head, and shimmy around the room. Unfortunatly this keeps rubbing raw the top of the implanted part. And he looks down right silly, but he doesn't seem to care.) He seems to hear very well with his left ear, and will turn to us or the tv, and hear the quieter sounds, including voices. His right ear, while i think he can still hear out of it, is no where near as good, and i think he misses all but the loud sounds with that one. Together I'm pretty sure he can hear well. It is an interesting point however, as i am almost certain that had we gone with only one implant, it was the right one that they were going to do. So had we not done both, James would have very little hearing at all. It is a great justification, had we needed one, that we did both ears. Because the look on his face as he waits for us to switch his ears on in the morning, then the huge beaming grin as he hears our voices... well, in the words of the mastercard add - PRICELESS!
