Reality Check

We took one more step closer to the next chapter in our CI Journey today with a quick phone call from our implant center with our 3 activation dates. Activation will happen about 4 weeks after the surgery  in a series of 3 appointments. The good news is that if our surgery remains on May 7th (we're still hoping for a sooner date), the first two activations will be when he is still in school. 

This is all starting to feel more and more real. I can't even begin to describe the sense of relief that we are taking this step for Christian. I know, it sounds so weird to feel relief before this surgery, but I do. Plain and simple, I just want to give him the best chance possible. And I firmly believe that this will.
