  • does he have perfect pitch? he definitely started that song in the right key. might have a future musician on ur hands...

  • @matthew11and25 Wouldn't that be amazing if he was a singer or other musician?

  • Good job mom! As the parent of a child with cochlear implants, I know how persistent, consistent, and repetitive we have to be to give our children spoken language. Drew is very lucky to have received his implant so young and he is so lucky that you are his mom, I can tell you are doing your job well! My daughter was 26 months old, and is now in mainstream 3rd grade and is an honor roll student! Language, language, language! That is my life! What a miracle!

  • @tahoetreefort Congratulations to you and your daughter!

  • Activation has gone well. I just rewatched this video and can hear him now speak.. It great to see your son doing so well with the CI. pre surgery I was profoundly deaf in both ears. Now since the CI I hear very well . 250 hz at 20 DB and 10-15 DB across the board.

  • @KWIIfan Amazing! Looks like it's been almost a year since you posted. How are you doing now?

  • that sheep is white.

  • Wow, your son says more than my 18-month-old sister, and her hearing's fine! He's such a cutie. :) I love it when you ask him for the duck. "Can Mommy have the duck?" "No!" Congratulations on your little miracle!
