He got the new Harmony and we are all waiting anxiously for the turn on date which is in about 3 weeks! But until then, he's getting his staples out this Thursday and he's going to have to just deal with "hearing" out of one hearing aid.
Here are some of the pictures from the surgery....
My Grandpa Sam Rivituso and my Grandmother Pauline - shortly after recovery
My Granpa with his nurse Katherine... she was really nice
Me, my Grandpa, and my brother leaving the hospital
The scar from when we took off the bandage.... it looked good! (the black line is his glasses, just to let you know lol)
As you can tell from the pictures, we were ALL very EXCITED about him getting the implant! Before, he couldn't hear anything and it was getting very difficult when we tried to talk to him. So we're hoping that after a few weeks he's going to be able to hear again and we can all talk to my grandpa normal again! :)
Congratulations Papa, you finally got the implant!! :)
Now we have three people in the family that has the implant (me, my brother and my grandpa)... and hoepfully my dad will be getting one soon (he's a bit stubborn when it comes to his hearing)....
