Allie's cochlear implant activation 1/13/2010

This is Allie's initial activation of her bilateral cochlear implants. She passed her newborn hearing screening, but as she got older, we noticed her speech was not developing as quickly as her peers. We had her hearing tested just before she turned 3 were shocked to learn that she had profound hearing loss in one ear and severe to mild in the other ear. She was then aided in one ear and progressing in speech therapy for 9 months. On 10/01/09, she lost the rest of her hearing. We've gone thru every imaginable test including genetics and have no explanation as to the cause of her hearing loss. On 1/04/2010, Allie had a 7 hour surgery and everything went fantastic. Two days later, she was back to her normal self, wild as ever. Activation was 9 days later. The look on her face when she heard was priceless!!
We know God has great things in store for Allie and she will impact many lives. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plan to give you hope and a future." Thanks to everyone for all their prayers
