Ben was featured in a front page article in our local newspaper. The newspaper contacted us way back in December before Ben's first surgery. The reporter and photographer were so interested in Ben's story they joined us on his first surgery day and then again when he was first activated with his right ear. The photographer was even allowed in the operating room, taking pictures of the entire procedure.
Last week they came out to see how life has changed for Ben since his second implant and activation. We thought they did a fantastic job on both articles. The first page actually brought tears to my eyes.
Hope you enjoy!

While buying 6 copies of the IO I had many people say, "You must have somebody really important in the newspaper!" My response was, "Yes! Really important. Our grandson." xoxo Grandma and Grandpa
