Big day!

Everly's surgery date is only TWO days away and I'm feeling a range of emotions. Excited, nervous, scared, happy... Mainly, I feel so fortunate that there is something we can do for her so that she will be able to hear and speak. 

Last week we received great news about her surgery; her surgeon now feels comfortable doing bilateral implants. That means she will receive both implants during her surgery. We were very surprised and excited to receive this news. This means only one surgery and one recovery for our little girl. 

Three weeks after her surgery, we will start turning the implants on through a series of mapping sessions with our audiologist. She will be 10 months when she is activated. 10 months was our goal as a family. And we did it!  

I will make sure to post updates as Everly completes her surgery and starts her recovery. Thanks to the support from our family and friends, we will get through this hurdle together. Thanks for following along.

Please send Everly positive vibes and prayers on Tuesday!! 

Love, 
Elizabeth
