We're making a decision that can't be undone.In this episode we take you inside our visit to UNC Children's Cochlear Implant Center; what we learned, what surprised us, and the moment we realized we were finally in the right place. We talk through why we chose one ear at a time, what happens when a child wakes up from cochlear implant surgery without any hearing, and the fears we have.We also cover Mila's MRI and CT scan, a third set of ear tubes, four surgeries back to back, and what it means to be fighting a Medicaid denial at the same time all of this is happening.Plus the agree or disagree segment is back! Voicemails, rewatching shows, messy cars, and skipping showers as self care. Comedic relief is a must.

If you are a medical mom, dad, or special needs parent, this podcast episode is for you and to you.

Resurface is the only podcast where two medical trauma survivors, each of us carrying invisible after effects the world stopped asking about, parent a medically complex child together, disagree about many things, almost fall apart, and still show up and choose each other. And try to make you laugh while we do it. Not a recovery story. A survival story. The wave hasn't passed. We're still in it.
