This is her story

This is the story of Kairi Yen Nguyen. Kairi was born with severe/total hearing impairment. I am keeping this web log for her so that she and others can share in the journey that her life will have to take with this condition.

Left Ear Implant Surgery

Kairi received her second CI implant. The surgery was a success with only a minor complication. The part of her skull that needed to be ground down to seat the implant had to be ground down pretty far for the implant to sit flush. The surgeon had to expose a small amount of Dura. We were told this area would fill back in with bone over time and would not be a problem or point of concern. Unfortunately we had to spend the night at the hospital for observation purposes.

Kairi is doing well. Back to her normal self.
