It was so hot in Orlando that we swam nearly every day. Lily loves the pool and we are soon venturing into swimming lessons. We take her CIs off in the water, because we just haven't figured out a secure method for waterproofing her BWPs and we don't have a back up. However, we're working on it.
It is very disheartening not to be able to communicate with her freely. We now take it for granted. Once her CIs are off, she does all the talking, never stops really, and we are certainly communicating, but I never realized how much language goes on while we are in the pool.
Hi there:) My son is bilaterally implanted AB user. He goes swimming with his implants using a food saver and a head cap! He is a super swimmer now and here is the video where I learned how!

We use one implant btw, in case something happens which won't happen because the food saver plastic is insanely thick and tight.

Lily is already photogenic at her young age! And she has a better swimsuit than mine. Haha! I'm just hoping that she gets better now to enjoy summer!

You're right Cathy. I wish I could have one like that for my pretty little angel when I get home from vacation.
