SECOND SURGERY!
I’ve bought a sewing machine, I wanted to try making children headbands ? I consulted the tailor and decided to give it a try. We’ll see about the results. I am planning to create a blog about Hela and to sell the headbands and processor pins, but first I need some materials and ideas… it is not as easy as I thought earlier. Today for the first time Hela said to me very clearly ?daj? (give). Continue reading “SECOND SURGERY!”
GRAN CANARIA – HOLIDAYS OF SPRING 2014
Departure for Gran Canaria. A long flight (6 hours), it was kinda (somewhat) tedious, but we’ve finally arrived. There weren’t any problems with the implant at the security checkpoint; we were nicely surprised by the man who was checking us at the board gate ? he only said ?cute electronic ear?

FIRST PLANE TRIP – CHRISTMAS IN EGYPT
Our whole family went to Egypt, first plane flight ever. It went without any problems, only the return trip was tiring. For the airport security we’d had to prepare the pass from Medel explaining why Hela needed implant and doctor’s statement in both Polish and English, however nobody asked for those documents.

THE FIRST WORD
Hela’s almost one year old and says her first word ?BABA?!!!. Sometimes it’s ?MAMAMMA?
THE BEGINNINGS WITH IMPLANT
The day of turning the processor on, we had been waiting impatiently for this moment. We had been scheduled for all-day visit at Kajetany. All in all nothing special happened, meeting with the doctor, the one-hour presentation and ? the most interesting ? connecting the implant. Continue reading “THE BEGINNINGS WITH IMPLANT”
THE FIRST SURGERY
On that day by eight o’clock we were supposed to come to Kajetany’s hospital. We’ve stumbled upon an extraordinarily long queue. I noted that Hela didn’t eat and she’s a small child, so I asked if we can come in first ? it worked 🙂 Continue reading “THE FIRST SURGERY”
THE PATH TO ACCEPTANCE
On this day we’ve met with the cord blood doctor. We are starting to get sceptical (skeptical) about that whole idea. Continue reading “THE PATH TO ACCEPTANCE”
SEARCHING FOR SOLUTION
Today we repeated ABR (Auditory Brainstem Responses) test and again it proved Helenka’s hearing loss. What will happen next, how her life ? and ours ? would turn out? We were in deep shock, it was hard to believe in all this…
