Nuchi du takara

So this week we visited Peace Prayer Park, it is a stunningly beautiful park. Knowing what the Okinawans endured during the battle of Okinawa it really has a somber type feeling. It overlooks "suicide cliffs," as the name implies many civilians jumped to their deaths during the battle of Okinawa.

The names of all who died are on these slabs.

These big nasty spiders were all over the walking path!

Successful Surgery!

Keira had her cochlear implant surgery on Thursday! Her surgery went great and they were able to insert the electrode with no problems. So grateful for that! It's always nerve-racking when your baby goes under.... even though we knew she was in great hands with her surgeon you still worry! She was groggy and tired the first day, Friday she started to get her spunk back and by Saturday we were at a ball game! Now we wait for activation day to see how she responds! There will be lots of mapping sessions in the coming months to fine tune the implant. Hopefully she starts responding immediately! At the ball game at Chase Field Family baseball fun! Peyton enjoyed the game much more than Keira... Keira wanted to touch everyone in front of us :/ Car ride home from the hospital with her Melody monkey from Advanced Bionics :) Day prior to surgery Playing with her Melody evening after surgery
