Aimee's BAER hearing exam was last Friday. Aimee's Nana and I waited together while Aimee was under anesthesia. The test itself was about an hour and forty minutes. The results were almost identical to her March exam. She has mild to moderate hearing impairment. It has only been 6 months since her last exam, but we were intially hoping that 6 months of development might meen some improvement in hearing abilities. She also still has the same time delay between a sound entering her ear and reaching her brain. Given the results and the vast improvement she shows while using the hearing aids, we have decided to order a permanent pair, which we will have programmed in October.
Unfortunately, Aimee decided to stay asleep for about 2 hours longer than she was supposed to, which is always a bit nerve racking. As soon as the anesthesiologist mentioned the possibility of staying over night, she started to wake up. You have to wonder about this girl sometimes!
I received the clinic note from Aimee's most recent Genetics appointment yesterday. The Angelman syndrome test came back normal, as well as the muscle disorder test. We'll see if there are any further ideas that come out of the Genetics convention.
This week we just have the chiropractic visits, 18th month wellness check-up and a GI visit to clean up the surgery site. It seems like, from this point, the visits to Children's Hospital may be backing off to one visit a week on average versus three. Wonderful!
