Take that mousey

My nanny Lizzy bought me this little mouse from Westmead Hospital when I went in there last week (17th Oct) for my test. I have taken to biting her, eating her feets, and having a snuggle when it's time for me to have a sleep. The best bit is she doesn't bite back!

Good news! When I went to sleep for my little operation, Professor Gibson (the world renowned hearing guru) was able to stimulate my auditory nerve which is a great first step. It means that if I were to be implanted with a bionic ear, the sound would travel to my brain and I would be able to hear.

There are a few more tests I have to have before it is certain I will be implanted. On Friday (27th Oct) I am having a CAT scan and MRI to make sure all the bits and pieces are in the right place inside my little noggin. If everything is there and working OK, mummy will start talking surgery dates. Ooohh, how exciting but scary all at the same time! It could be as soon as before Christmas time. I bet mummy never thought she'd ask for this kind of Christmas present!!
