Our hearing child!
We took AJ to Cardinal Glennon last week and got some great news. He can hear just fine! He has some moderate hearing loss in the lower tones, but they believe it is due to residual fluid behind his ear drum and is not really an issue. He can hear speech tones very well. The best result was that his brain responded to 70 decibels in his "bad" ear!! That means that the cochlea (inner ear) is intact and functioning. We no longer need to do a CT scan because we know that there is something inside his little closed-up ear. We will do something with it in a few years, but right now, it's simply not an issue. We are so very blessed with our beautiful boys and I thank you all for your thoughts and prayers over these last few months as we waited for answers. God is listening!
