We have recently discovered through an appt with the audiologist and an appt with the ENT that Milana has mild to moderate hearing loss. With that said we know that she CAN hear us when we talk to her. It is just that the quality of what she is hearing isn't what it could or should be.
So the next step in helping her to hear better is for her to get tubes put in both ears. The ENT feels very strongly that this should resolve the problem. We are really hoping that it does as she can not be evaluated for special ed. preschool services until she passes her hearing test. This is very important because she really needs to be in school learning and socializing with her peers.
I know the pictures have nothing to do with the post. I just thought that they were cute. I just love the funny faces she makes. They crack me up. Hope you like them too.

Hey, Jenn...if you have any momma questions about the tube deal, I'm your girl! We've had six sets between our two kids. And apart from the speech/hearing issue, it makes a world of difference not having ear infections all the time. Everyone is much, much happier!
ReplyDeleteI've heard it's a simple procedure. Did they set a date for you? She is super cute in those photos.
ReplyDeleteI forgot all about that. Milana is having her tubes put in on Thursday! So hopefully she will be able to pass that hearing test by the end of the week :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying! My Jenn, she is just stunning! I'm just loving reading all your updates of her at home - so exciting!!!
