Trips

So we've been pretty busy lately. Keira is responding really well with the aids and she's got a lot more signs now! :) She's also added "bad, bad" to her vocabulary! :) Whenever she takes her aids out I say "Bad, bad!" and now she's started saying it when she takes them out! Hopefully more and more words will come! She's also been progressing well with imitating signs in speech. The audiologist did some adjustments and she's tolerating the aids much better now, wearing them most the day!
We recently went to The Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, & California! We had a great time. My girlfriend from Florida came and we did The Grand Canyon, Antelope and we actually did Sedona too. Then just last month my cousin got married and we were able to get to California and be there for that. We also took the girls to Disneyland which was pretty exciting for Peyton. Keira enjoyed the rides but she wasn't quite as excited as Peyton ;)


















She was so excited to be at the beach! She misses the beaches on Okinawa terribly!

My friend Crystal at The Grand Canyon. It was rainy and foggy when we first arrived.













We literally watched the fog roll in.

Then the fog started to clear out just like that!

At the park...

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
