Two new phrases!
Tonight was awesome!
Katya was playing with her play kitchen and put something in the play microwave. She then pressed the buttons, turned to me and with the "around-around" gesture, said "around-around". YES SHE SAID "AROUND AROUND"!!!
But there is more.
Less than 20 seconds later she raised her finger... which means WAIT... and said "one moment".
Two phrases in 20 seconds!!!
These are phrases I have been using with these gestures for ages. And now she can not only understand them but also tell me them back.
I have to admit, after all the emotion of the last few months, this just made me cry! But this time with happiness.
She has also started to understanding the word "leave". And foot/feet is firmly established as well.
This is pretty exciting stuff.
Tomorrow we are off to the ENT person to see what is causing the bump near her right hand implant site. It doesn't appear to be going down even with anti-biotics.
Oh... and I have cracked how to feed her antibiotics. I feed her it with lumps of canned fruit. She downed a whole can of fruit salad tonight!!!

A bad run...
We have had a bad run the last week or so with Katya. It started with a cold. This went to asthma. Then she got an ear infection and she has ended up on anti-biotics.
HOWEVER... because of the ear infection she has gone right off her right CI. In fact the infection seem to impact her CI site so the magnet would not stick.
SO... after a really really good run, I now have a lot of work to do to get her back using her right 'ear'. Even getting her left ear on is pretty hard work at the moment.
STILL... I just have to remember that I have 34 years on her and I can be more patient (or is that more stubborn) than her and eventually she will forget they are on.
One of my tricks is to put the processor on her with it powered off. Then when she is busy with something quiet, switch it on. This is quite a change because I could pop the processors on two weeks ago on full volume powered on and she was fine.
