Miles' New Ear: First Post-Op
http://milestrip.blogspot.com/2005/11/first-post-op.html
Friday, November 04, 2005. Cleaning up helped the itching head somewhat, but now the skin graft on his left ear is itchy. We had an even harder time last night keeping the “hat” on, because he keeps scratching and since the sides are uneven, it doesn’t stay on very well. Thankfully, he was absolutely exhausted last night, so slept pretty well, despite everything. Okay, here are some pics. Here he is with the netting off and they’re starting to remove the cups with some anti-adhesive:. Miles totally freak...

Miles' New Ear: Tips for ear surgery
http://milestrip.blogspot.com/2005/11/tips-for-ear-surgery.html
Tuesday, November 08, 2005. Tips for ear surgery. I posted this on the microtia yahoo board, but thought it was worth posting here. Here is some advice- some of which I received from people on that board and worked for us- some of which we just discovered on our own:. 1) Bring lots of shirts and jammies that button down and don't have to be pulled over the head. 2) Bring pants/shorts/skirts that have a waist band (not button or zip) so they're easier on the abdomen skin graft. 7) A small stroller, like t...

Miles' New Ear: A Little Background Information
http://milestrip.blogspot.com/2005/10/little-background-information.html
Monday, October 17, 2005. A Little Background Information. Atresia" means that he has no ear canal. He does have an inner ear, but since there is no ear canal, he hears very little out of that ear. An operation called a canalplasty opens up ear canals, but we recently found out that he is not a candidate for that operation. We have chosen Dr. John Reinisch. So, on October 27th we will be flying to LA to undergo surgery on the 28th. We will be there for several weeks (spending part of the time between...

Miles' New Ear: Arizona Update
http://milestrip.blogspot.com/2005/11/arizona-update.html
Wednesday, November 02, 2005. So sorry that it has been so long since we've updated this blog. We have not had internet access since we left LA. We are at my parent's place in Mesa- much cheaper than staying in LA. It took about 7 hours to get here. One night we were feeling pretty cocky and thought that we'd just have daddy sleep with him, since it had been going pretty well. That turned out to be the worst night of all, poor boys. So now we're back on the shift regimen. Miles' right eye swelled up a co...

Miles' New Ear: In surgery
http://milestrip.blogspot.com/2005/10/in-surgery.html
Friday, October 28, 2005. We may be called to the recovery room any minute, so I'm typing as fast as I can. We just discovered there was a wi-fi here and we could log on. Here are some pics:. Mile at the pre-op yesterday with Nurse Pam who was showing him a head with the netting and one of the cups he will have. She also gave Little Quack some netting (no cups since he has no ears). Here's Mr. Jarhead with the cup and netting:. Miles talking to Dr. Reinisch:. The last pic of Miles' little ear ever:.

Miles' New Ear: Miles got a Hearing Aid
http://milestrip.blogspot.com/2010/03/miles-got-hearing-aid.html
Thursday, March 18, 2010. Miles got a Hearing Aid. Last Fall, we finally got a loaner hearing aid for Miles to try out. Actually, we got two. He got to try a BAHA and a BCHA for a total of 3 months. A BAHA is a bone anchored hearing aid. You can either wear it on a "softband" or get a permanent implant so it attaches to your skull. I don't have a picture of him with it, but it looked like this, but red:. He doesn't wear it much at home and I don't push him too much. But his teacher reminds him to wea...
