Now THIS is one cute picture! The boys really do spend a lot of time together. I think Josh's favorite friend is Chris, and Chris doesn't know what to do when Matt isn't around. We're really blessed that they get along so well.
Both of the CI boys, Matt and Josh, have their BWPs on in the pic. I think you can see the cord running from their headpieces to their processors. We absolutely LOVE the BTEs, and they wear both around the house. But when Matt is at school he uses the BWP with the Phonak Microlink. We still haven't had the BTEs switched and remapped so that he could use the new iConnect, but that will happen. HE CAN'T WAIT. He could wear his CII BTE now, but chooses his BWP for school, the BTE for home.
I keep the BWP on Josh more now when we're running around. We need to get a new ear mold made for his BTE. With a good, comfortable ear mold, we don't seem to have a problem with Josh's processor physically staying on. To be honest, when we're out and about I'm more worried about Josh taking his BTE off and playing with it, though. That's just Josh's personality. Since he's become more mobile he's been quite a handful to chase! When he wears his BWP, he uses the Pediatric Processor Harness (http://www.bionicear.com/products/prod_dev.asp). He is so used to putting it on and taking it off that it's just become another piece of clothing for him. It is wonderful, doesn't get in the way of his car seat use, sticks out very little under the sides of his shirt. With Josh's long hair, most people don't even notice he's wearing a CI! He's such a cutie pie!
Okay, I need to keep moving. The boys are playing in the basement now, and things are a little too quiet...
