Activation Video

Well you can imagine my SURPRISE when I come to the blog and notice that my dearest HUBBY has updated it! What a wonderful man! I'm so lucky!

Well, it's offically been 1 week and 2 hours of hearing for our baby boy. It's going good, but honestly the last week has been stressful!!

Last year, while I was still pregnant, my husband and I found a WONDERFUL daycare lady to watch over Troy once he was born and I went back to work. She has watched him since my 9 weeks of maternity leave were up. Well...when Troy's processor was activated, I was nervous with the other kids at her house, it would be a lot for her. However, we moved forward knowing that God would take care of any situation. After giving her a run-down of how everything worked on Tuesday afternoon, I went back to work on Wednesday. Everything seemed to be going okay, until she called me on Thrusday afternoon to tell me that it was just too much for her. How my heart was broken, but I couldn't be mad. Honestly, Troy does need one on one attention right now. THANKFULLY and by the GRACE OF GOD, my sister does not have a job and is now Troy's full time nanny! She is also there to get Dean off to school in the morning and waiting for him when he gets off the bus in the afternoon. God is so good!!

Anyhow, as my dearest hubby's post told you, Troy's activation went great! He is a trooper and I will get some pictures of him with his processor up as soon as possible!

The video my mom took is about 8 1/2 minutes and is much to big to be linked to here, so I am letting you know that if you click HERE, it will take you to the video on YouTube!

Thank you all for your prayers and we are excited to move forward from here!!

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....
