Troy is activated!!

So, This is Thom.. I went on the Blog today and noticed that Shell has not been able to update everyone.. God bless her, she's at home today making sure that the daycare provider is up to speed on what she needs to know and making sure that Troy is as happy as he can be.

SHE IS A GREAT MOMMY!!

Ok, enough about my awesome wife..

Troy was activated and we were all excited. His Nana and Aunt Coco was able to make it to the hospital to help with video, pictures and general keeping up with Troy. It was as I expected.. THERE WAS NO MAJOR REACTION.. not in a bad way of course.. we knew he may do it but his cracker was much more interesting to him than the new noises in his head.. That is until the audiologist kicked the processor up a notch.. Level 2... He looked at me, then at Shelley and buried his head into his Mommy's lap with a little bit of crying. We were saddened and happy that we knew he was getting something.. but we moved back to level 1 for the rest of the day.

As anyone that has been through this can attest to it is a fun battle to keep it on his head. Thank goodness for aviator caps.. they are the best thing ever.

I am sure Shell will get on here, realize I beat her to the punch, change her password, and then post pictures and the link to the Youtube video. We were not able to load it here or on Facebook due to the size of the video clip of the actual activation..

Thank you all for keeping up with our family.. God bless you all....


"King"? Thom

Happy Hearing Birthday to Troy! Pilot caps are the best. thing. ever. I don't know how we would have kept Nolan's hearing aids on without those caps!
