A piece of good news for us this week: Aimee's pediatrician is allowing us to perform her weekly weigh in on a tracked scale in his office without an appointment or co-pay. What a relief! Just the thought of an extra $30 a week was hurting my brain.
We went down for 2 ultrasounds on Wednesday to follow up on the previous findings. I just spoke with the doctor from Endocrinology this afternoon regarding the results. Overall pretty positive. The large cyst is still there, but the enlarged ovary (they start being concerned over 1.2 cm at this age, it was 4.5 cm) was back in the normal range (.06 cm). Just to be fun though, her left ovary is now enlarged (was 1.1 cm last time, now is 2.1 cm). I will follow up further on these results with Adolescent Medicine on August 11th when we are there to assess her response to the steroid/hormone cream that she is currently on.
I spoke with the Audiologist yesterday afternoon to rediscuss the hearing testing Aimee had done in March. We were finally able to come to a consensus. We will have Aimee fitted for a trial pair of hearing aids from their bank at Children's on August 3rd. There is no way to test her with the hearing aids unfortunately, due to her unique situation, so we will watch her closely for about a 6 week period to determine if the amplification is helping or hurting her. Once that period is over, we will have the Baer test again (the one that she had 3 months ago where she was put under anesthesia) and potentially place an order for permanent hearing devices.
I think that is all, but I can't be sure. May have to update again later as more comes to me.
