We are Randy and Carri. Audrena, our third child, has bilateral profound hearing loss. Currently we are traveling the path of her hearing journey as she has received her cochlear implants, and we are continuing to expand her speech and language. We started this blog to keep family and friends updated on what is happening during Audrena's hearing journey, and we have hopes that someday it will help another family facing cochlear implant surgery.

Another bit of good news.
Today the occupational therapist came to evaluate Audrena. There were concerns that she would need regular occupational therapy, especially in the areas of visual/perceptual things in order to help her compensate for her lack of vestibular function. We were very surprised to hear that she is doing just fine in those areas. As of now, the occupational therapist was impressed with Audrena and feels that a once-a-month evaluation is appropriate, rather than weekly therapy visits. She just wants to monitor Audrena to make sure she doesn't eventually fall behind, but right now our little small and mighty girl is doing just fine.
