Zemiel received his cochlear implants today. In her debrief, the surgeon told us that the operation was a success. The 'Stealth' technology that they had hoped to use to great benefit, failed due to unexplained inaccuracy. However, we have been told that all the implanted electrodes are firing. Zem did have some cerebral fluid flow out of his right ear, however, we are confident that it will not continue to pose a problem. We spent most of the day in the hospital. Sharlene has spent the night with Zem in the hospital. He came out of the general anesthetic pretty well. The result so far is better than we expected. We truly believe that God has poured his blessings into our lives. Here are a few pics of Zem just after the op.
