I have been wondering the past few days if Thomas is having a problem with his right CI. This past Sunday we were at a party for my Aunt's birthday. There were about 30 people there and we were in a restaurant...I wouldnt consider it very noisy, though. About halfway through dinner Thomas looked at me and pointed to his right cheek..I tried to look around to see if anything (or anyone) had accidentally run into him or if he got hurt...but everything looked fine. His finger got a little closer to his ear as he kept pointing. He finally took off his coil and handed it to me. I looked it over, making sure all the settings were correct and they were. I tried to put it back on him and he pushed my hand away...he did NOT want it back on. I didn't want to cause a scene so I put it away in its case and tucked it in my bag. The past few days Thomas lets me put his processor on but various times during the day he will again, point to his cheek/ear and yell to me. I am extremely happy that we have a mapping appointment tomorrow with the audiologist. It has been driving me crazy that something is hurting and/or bothering Thomas and I can't do anything to help him. It's either something with his CI or maybe one of his last teeth are coming in? We'll see tomorrow!!!
