Benyamin Goes to Hospital



The blogging will be sparse over the next few days. We are taking the train to Stockholm tonight, arrive tomorrow and Benyamin will be having surgery for bilateral cochlear implants beginning on Wednesday morning. I expect everything to go well.....but have my fingers crossed at the same time. We should be back home on Friday morning.

I hope that everything goes well for your family James.

I was at the McDonalds down at Herston near the hospital one time and a kid with a cochlear was there. When the music played the kid held his head toward the speaker and sung mimicking the music. I nearly cried.

Good luck and be brave little Ben.

Thank you Alex and Ben...We have been at the hospital today and everything is going well. After we had a meeting with the surgeon Ben hugged him goodbye...The operation is tomorrow.
