laughing and crying

This is the best video on the internet. Blake's cousin and her husband had a baby girl just before Reese had the twins. Reagan was born deaf. She had a cochlear implant done in January (or, as April referred to it: implants - leading to lots of confusion for folks not as "in the know"), and this is the video of the bionic ear activation...truly one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen.

In case it's not clear, the doctor activates the bionic ear, then says "Ba-ba-ba" to see if Reggie reacts.

I've watched this video 4 times now and cried each time. It is so wonderful! Thanks for sharing--I've passed it along to lots of people.

Oh, the video is awesome!!! Little Reagan is definitely hearing something...bless her heart! I am a bilateral CI recipient myself...so I love these stories. I would love to hear more about Reagan's progress...does her family have a blog?

Hi Addie, does Jennifer have an email? I would love to pick her brain about her bilateral implants, but can't access her through your blog..Be well, -A
