We are now about halfway through the activtion. So far, we have activated 9 electrodes with responses and are at about 75% volume. The team has left to go to the OR, and we will complete the activation later.
Here is Anna when she got the earpiece:

And here is Anna's first reaction to sound:
I can only get the short videos loaded right now. I have another, longer one taken at the end of the activation session that really shows more as far as what Anna can hear.
Did you get that?
ANNA CAN HEAR.
I am so humbled and amazed right now, and yet, this was always my expectation when I felt the Lord leading us in this direction.
It will take time for Anna to learn what sounds are and what they mean, but for now, she turns her head at the beep! The tears are flowing.
