So,looks like we are going to make it to the surgery table (thank god!).It is now 12.30 am and the surgery is scheduled at 9 am.
Rhianna is fast asleep on the hospital bed and I'm feeling so nervous about the surgery.She was admitted this morning and they ran full blood test and multiple check ups to make sure that she's fit to go in tomorrow.So we will probably be here for a couple of days (standard procedure here) for observation after the surgery.
It's not easy taking care of an active child who is not sick yet stuck in a hospital.Luckily they have a big play room with many toys so she's not that bored.Unfortunately the room is closed at 5pm so mom had to take over and entertain her from there on.Fortunately,mom is smart enough to bring a couple of new toys and dvds (thanks Barney!).
Anyway,Rhianna's beloved Mama Gee will scrub in and observe the surgery tomorrow.I opted not to.I'm not squeamish with blood or anything,but seeing someone drills into my daughter's skull is a different story altogether.
Soon Rhianna will be bilateral and another hearing journey will begin. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
p/s: will update with photos tomorrow.What else can one do when stuck in a hospital but blog?

I'm learning to listen
I'm willing to try
Nothing's impossible
Reach for the sky
I may not be perfect
Though I'd like to be
I'm learning to listen
Just being me

Happy listening!
On September 15th 2009 Rhianna's left CI was activated and her journey into the hearing world began..We hope to document her progress and share our wonderful journey with this delightful girl.We also hope to provide other parents with similar situation in our country with some information on living with CI.
Meet Rhianna!
Rhianna is turning 5 years old on May 13th 2012
She stands at 105cm and weighs 18kg (still!).
She loves doughnuts,ice cream and birthdays
but she hates vegetables (yucks!)
She loves princess, dolls and pretend play
but she hates to tidy up
She loves singing and dancing
but she hates nap time and bed time
She loves her two kitties
but she hates it when they're noisy
She loves to chat and listen
but she hates mapping sessions ( getting better tho)
she's lovely but cheeky,pretty sometimes grumpy,she's loving and kind but could be bossy...that's who she is :)
