Ok, you can correct my french if you want, but here's the first two emails I wrote this morning before we headed out and headed up some festive parties today!
Bonjour Dr C & Dr L!

> Ca y est! L'implante de pret est arrivée ce matin! 48 heures sans audition semblait trop longue pour nous tous! Parker etait vraiment content quand il est arrivée, et commençais a parler toute de suite apres on a mis, avec une grande sourire! On a commençais avec programme 1... Apres quelques minutes, j'ai tenté programme 2, et il disais, "encore?"..donc j ' ai fait programme 3, et il disais "encore, yah?"...C'etait top!

> Merci infiniment pour ce beau cadeau. C'est vraiment une benediction pour notre famille!

Hi all!
I just wanted to let you know that we received the replacement implant for Parker this morning in the mail! 48 hours without audition was waaaayyyy too long for all of us! He started talking immediately after we put it on. We started on a low program since he hadn't heard anything for 2 whole days. After a few minutes, I couldn't help myself but try & turn it up. He smiled and said, "again?", so I turned it up again. He repeatedly said, "again?"...until we had it on the highest setting. I am so thankful for this gift of science & technology. And thankful for all of your good thoughts & prayers for us during the past 2 days! I was very doubtful we'd actually receive the implant this morning, and would have to wait until Cochlear was open Monday morning to even speak to someone. Parker was visibly disturbed yesterday, had a difficult time going to sleep last night & always searching for something to watch on the TV/computer or something to destroy. Let's hope today he's better and we have no more run-ins with the toilet!
Kisses to all, and have a great weekend!
Renee and gang
