We are getting ready to head out to Farwell. The hearing test process lasted about 2 hours. We had to feed her and get her to go to sleep and then start the test. We couldn't let her sleep in the car and were supposed to keep her awake before the test so it was pretty easy to get her to fall asleep since she hadn't slept since 11. The test showed that she had some mild hearing loss in both ears. So they did another test to see if her ear drums were moving correctly. They weren't. This is actually a good thing because it means that most likely she has fluid or some type of infection behind her eardrums that is causing the hearing loss. So we are scheduled to go in to an Ear Nose and Throat doctor. The annoying part is that they couldn't get us in until June 23rd so we will have to wait a month to see what is going on with that. The good part is that it could clear up on its own before then. We will do a repeat hearing test after the doctor looks at her and gets fluid cleared if needed. That will tell us if all hearing loss was due to that or if there is something in addition going on. So no final answer today but at least it looks hopefully that it is an issue that could be fairly easy to resolve. Please pray that it won't be a big deal and that her hearing will be fine and that the fluid or whatever the problem is can clear up. If this doesn't solve the issue then her hearing loss is significant enough that we would have to get some type of hearing aids. Okay, I've got to go finish packing up.
