Landon Update: I had the opportunity to attend a therapy session for Landon a couple of weeks ago. After getting in trouble with his therapist for teaching him the wrong sound for something, OOPS, I was very impressed with his progress. We determined that he is at a normal developmental level on a few items. Landon and I are going to start working on front, back and top very soon, I will give you an update asap.

Research Update: A new study by Bichey and Miyamoto (2008), found an improvement in quality of life and a favorable cost-utility associated with bilateral cochlear implantation in patients with profound hearing loss. These patients showed additional improvements in quality of life after they received their second implant. Information on the study, including article, can be found here: http://www.usemyears.com/?q=node/240

Site Update: I have been noticing over the past couple of weeks the site has not been performing up to my standards from speed standpoint. After reviewing, I have decided to move the site to a new server that has more speed and power. I think the performance increase has been worth the work. Now that this has been fixed, I am moving to build the data collection mechanisms for the site.
