A lil' chat

Savanah: "Mom, how did this "managet" get in my head?" Me: "Well baby, you had surgery. Remember when at the hospital, you rode in a little red wagon. All your family was there and we watched you go into surgery. They put a special little mask on your face and you went to sleep." Savanah: "Oh yeah, I remember that. It smelled really good Mom. Like fruity pebbles." Me: "Yes, that was the medicine that put you so sleep so they could put the magnet and cochlear implant in your ear that couldn't hear very well." Savanah: "Did it hurt much?" Me: "You cried a little bit when you woke up, but you quickly seemed to get better fast. We went home later that day and you were feeling so good that you wanted to ride your barbie bike down the sidewalk!" Savanah: "That's just like me, huh mom?" Me: "Yes baby, you are a go-getter." Savanah: "I really do love my cochlear implant mom. I am so glad I can hear everything, sometimes I don't like to hear my sister talk really loud or babies cry but I love to hear all the beautiful noises like birds, friends laughing, my music on my i-pod, my family talk to me. It's so super cool." Me: "Well I am so glad you like it! Your dad and I had a very hard decision to make for you and I only hope that you will continue to cherish your implant throughout your entire life. You have been so brave and strong. We are so proud of you! Did you know that your 5th Happy Hearing Day anniversary is coming up next month?" Savanah: "Mom, you're so funny, I'm not married!" - I love her. To pieces.
