Approval for bilateral!!!!!

"by the way never mind about my attitude, also it does piss me off when people thinking they are the better than the deaf people you seem that you are the control freak from what i read your posts or threads)"

You know, I get real sick of people making wild statements and when questioned on it, they back off and say they were misunderstood. I find the above quote offensive as hell. Where the hell do you get off implying that I feel I am better than deaf people? Give me an example, back up your statement. As far as a control freak, where the hell did that come from? I make some bold statements, but I can back them up with fact, research and educated opinions from experts. I base my opinion of fact and data. Not speculation and rumor.
I'll tell ya what, Lets make this interesting. You provide proof that I feel I am better than deaf people, and I'll leave alldeaf.com. But if I prove you wrong (that I do not think I am better than deaf people) you leave all deaf. As I said, I do not make a statment that cannot be backed up with data. Do you?
This will be fun!

Moderator- please do not lock this. I am offended as hell that she has made this staement. Please allow me to prove this point.
 
Lillys Dad,

It's so obvious that whatever viewpoint one is coming from that you and Lilly have a special, trusting and two way relationship. It's plain that she loves her daddy. You've taken her to deaf events, you sign with her, you participate on AD so as to understand a range of deaf viewpoints ....gee what a control freak indeed!

Just ignore the poster - it's probably her time of month.
 
i have to agree with Lilly dad, my son got implanted at 16 months and getting ready in 3 weeks to get 2nd implant . early intervention is the best. My son at 2 is talking up a storm and he is hearing at 15dbd. I could only imagine the lack of speech.if we didnt implant him.We are these childrens parents and we control them. they are to young to amke up their own mind. If Lilly dad wants to be controlling of this situation he has every right. Implanting your child takes a lot of soul searching , fact research and a whole lot of praying. my son had 2 digital hearing at 6 weeks and he got the ci when he couldnt benefit from the hearing aides. he now has no hearing left in right ear.he hears at 90 and 100 dbd. THere is not a hearing aide there strong enough to give him the speech hearing ability.I dont know how your son hears and talks fine with a profound loss. Let me know if there is a way I will cancel my sons surgery...
 
R2, She is an adult, therefore, responsible for her actions and statements. I dont care if it is her time of the month or not. I will not discount these statements as a joke, or a misunderstanding, or anything else. They are what they are, offensive, untrue, and unfounded.
IMany here know that I have a sense of humor and can play along with almost anything. But, these statements are not intended to be humorous, so I am not being humorous.

I started this thread as a way to inform others of our victory over insurance companies that repeatedly screw over Lilly, and all other deaf people for that matter. I wanted to spread some good joyus news, and she comes here and starts her crap....... NO.

I agree, what CutePommie said was very rude.
 
Hay People let's not turn Lilly's thred in to a CI arugument , I know I am probably to blam for asking my question , but her father made a desision after a lot of study and consideration, his daughter is going to grow up with more then one language and most children don't get that, I can tell from his other post that she is the joy of his life , lests celabrate her.
 
Thank you for your comments Kate. You are correct. Lilly is the single most important thing in my life. The very first time I held her in the delivery room, what I thought mattered in life became meaningless. And a person that I had never met before that point became the number one reason for living my life.

Please do not think that you started this argument. You asked a harmless question. I have said many times here that I do not wantr anyone to hesitate about asking any question about my experiences and Lillys progress. Especially when it comes to CI. There are so many lies, misconceptions, and false statements out there, that I feel it is my job to disspell them.
If you have a question, ask it. The conversation was just interupted by a rude person that goes out of her way to interject her opinion, and ruin what was a happy celebratory thread.
 
I doubt she was scared off, she is probably tryting to figure out how to talk her way around the issue.


Back on the topic at hand. We do not have a surgery date yet. The new insurance did not start until today. I could not get the ball rolling officially until the hospital had a copy of th einsurance card. We faxed them a copy on tuesday. The lady that handels all of the scheduling was off work thursday. Due to the nasty weather with ice, snow and serious power outages, I doubt she worked today. So I hope we ill hear something next week. Trust me, when we have a date, you will know. I will post it here for all to see.
 
Coolness if not x-mas mabee her bday or is that realy far off? but I would rather have the activation around it not the actual operation. ither way I'm glad thing are starting to roll.

Agreed.

His posts make it clear that she's the joy of his life and while I do have some reservations about CIs in infants, I also am aware that I have no decent counter argument against implants in infants. All I ask is that the very young implantees have some exposure to the Deaf culture. I personally think very young Deaf children will be more accepting of young CI'ers than Deaf Adults. I realize I can't tell parents what to do with their children. It is clear to me from his posts that he has put a lot of thought into this decision. Besides, her progress interests me. Yes , it's better to celebrate her.

I agree with you all, Lily has a very caring family. :)

As for exceptance, it's well known that the easyest age to include a child with any disablity with their same age peers without disablities is the elementry years. This is because the children are so excepting. As they get older around 4th grade or so things really begin to change, especially if the mental gap is really wide.

Good points. I think you have stated this in a positive, constructive manner.
 
Thanks guys!
I am still waiting for a response. I get real tired of the what I call "drive by debates". You know the type. They jump in a thread, say stuuf to piss people off then go away like nothing ever happened. I equate that to someone runnign up behind someone and punching them in back of the head. By the time the person can turn around and defencd themself, the coward has run off.
I have noticed a term on this site, "troll". Is that basically what a troll does? And if so, does Pomme meet the definition of "troll"?

I call them seagull posters. They swoop in, drop their cr*p and then fly off again, often not to be seen again.
 
I just read the website this explain about this *troll* mean .. i readit throughout and yes i just realise that i am one of them.
Also still this no excuse of me being not good at english grammar .. maybe you all could laugh at it .. not to worry as it is least my problem .. i does to have lots of attitude as it is the way i am.
Okay by the way FYI i don't have this PMS anymore.
I does to understand what you does want best for your daughter.
I better don't to say anymore .. let you all go whatever you all think what best for yourself or your family or kids ..

I just want to say all the best ...

Take care and i am not to be right person to fit it in here

Regards

CutePommie ...
 
Sorry for the delay, I've been busy. Helped a friend (parents of CI kid) move into thier new house, had to install a gas line for their dryer. Hung plastic over windows at home, painted Lillys new bedroom. Been busy.
I dont remember if I mentioned this or not, but even though we do not yet have written approval, the lady who does the scheduling for CI surgery at the hospital called my wife to let her know that she had spoken to the ins co and they told her that thye have full approval to pay for the surgery and equipment. We also found out that the copay is $250. Not the $500 we thought!
