I just talked to this man yesterday who is in the 60's adopted a forgien child that is profoundly deaf. He mentioned when his adopted son had CI surgery at age 4 it didnt go well, infection grew so had to remove CI to cure the infection. Doctor use the same CI equipment to the left side of the child's head. That went well. Then when the infection cured on the right side, doctor replanted the new CI back in, infection grew back again so removed again. Now the child is age 6 and his whole right side of face is paralized. That means there was a nerve damage caused by the surgery. It came to my mind: The boy have to deal with the paralized face for the rest of his life. His father said "Well at least he still have hands and feet." With a big smile on his face, acting like there is no problems. He said "In June when my adopted son's infection go away he will go back and still have the surgery on the head so he can have TWO CIs.
At first I wanted to punch his face, but no it is HIS son not mine. :rl:
Oh and He works as an intermittent at a state deaf school.
This is VERY devastating for me. I CANT even imagine how much pain this child is going through and will face in the future.
