Swim Lessons--FINALLY!

After 11 years of wanting Brandt to learn how to swim (his mother is scared of water so he was never allowed to learn), it's finally happening thanks to Advanced Bionics! (and our insurance!) After getting his first CI, insurance agreed to cover an Aqua Case and accessories--it's a waterproof case that holds the processor and a small battery, and also requires a special waterproof cable and headpiece. Then with the second processor, since AB was about to release a new model, they let him pick some extra accessories and he was able to get a second Aqua Case! He's just started and he's having a little trouble with floating, but I think by the end of summer he's going to be fairly confident in the water. It's such a relief and I am so thankful for this technology!
