the cars that go BOOM !!

Just as LiLi's Mom suggested we had our subwoofers booming all the way to the Ci surgeon this morning. We explained our updated case to him, though he already knew why we were there...the end result?....Removal. At this point we don't know what else to do. It still hurts, it still turns red from time to time and itches like crazy, he prefers to not wear his processor due to all of this (which is so NOT him)! We have it scheduled for Dec 29. So 13 days til silence. Right now he has a choice of silence or sound which is really a choice of pain or comfort, he just tried wearing his processor but was forced to remove it in under an hour. This is the longest he's worn it in a while, and he only did it to try and "prove" he's fine. But he's not, he doesn't want to remove his ci, but at this point it's not doing him much good. I will update later on this but right now I am looking forward to this actually, I want him back to normal. He's not really been able to play as much (like an ADHD kid-running, jumping, etc). I want him to run, play, ride fourwheelers, have fun again...without pain. We'll get him all healed up, and he can't wait til he gets a new one (maybe two, still working on the bilateral thing!).
And on this trip, I was very pleased that my unselfish daughter (well, sometimes) didn't want to listen to the lyrics when her big brother couldn't, so she removed her processors and with all four of their little hands pressed against the windows, seats or ceiling...they boomed all the way to town. So if you see a thirty something year old lady, throwing up her "rap hands" with a deep thunderous boom next to you at the red light, don't give her dirty look! She may have two little deaf munchkins in the back, feeling the music.
