Cochlear Implant Activation Day!!

January 11, 2017 · by memoriesforbecca · in Uncategorized · 22 Comments

Today was the day we’ve been anxiously waiting for for almost a year, Rebecca’s Activation Day.

We went into the appointment very nervous, yet so excited! Reagan wanted her voice to be the first one Rebecca heard, and so it was. Rebecca was busy playing with toys when they turned her CI’s on, and she instantly went still and stopped everything she was doing. The audiologist clapped and Rebecca blinked, she could hear!!!!!!!!! What an amazing moment!! Rebecca did “phenomenal” according to the audiologist, and we couldn’t be happier. We are so excited to be on this portion of our journey now with Rebecca, and knowing she can hear is like a weight has been lifted and we can finally breathe again.

She has been in my Prayers ever since & in my Family & Friends Prayers as well. I put her on a
Prayers list online, and they were all just deep in Prayer for Rebecca & your Family as well. We will
continue to keep her & all of you in Prayer Always. God Bless.
Thank You “Jesus” for ANSWERED PRAYERS. AMEN….
