The Big Day - The Turning On of the Cochlear Implant For one of the biggest days in Owen's life, we traveled down to UNC in Durham, NC to have the cochlear implant turned on (also known as the Hookup). We brought the whole family down for this, it was too important and exciting to leave Sammy at home. It was really exciting to see him react to a sound for the first time ever. |

| During the hookup they gave us a new Cochlear Koala, complete with his own speech processor and coil. | |

| Owen hasn't been interested in pacifiers since he was two months old. He found one in his toy basket today and popped it in as if he knew exactly what it was for. He still prefers his finger, but it was too cute of a picture to pass up. | |
