ABR

ABR RESULTS

Kylee had her Align CenterABR. As we were pulling into the parking lot of the hospital she threw up and had a stuffy nose so we thought we would be sent home. All her vitals where fine so we were able to go ahead with the ABR and MRI. We got very good news. Both ears came back with normal hearing. Her left ear has some fluid and they could not see her tube so we have to call the Dr tomorrow that placed the tubs to take her in for a tube check and possibly some ear drops. The audiologist said we don't have to come back for a year or so unless we notice something different in her hearing. She said we will be the judge of howl long we want to wait. So very excited about that. Now we just have to wait for the results of the MRI. As the nurse was walking Kylee and I out (Jason was pulling the car around so we didn't have to walk so far) the nurse said I just want to tell you what a wonderful job you and your husband do with Kylee. It is hard work taking care of a child with special needs and you don't always see parents as wonderful as you. Made me feel good. It is hard work but I just can't imagine a parent not wanting to do anything they can for there child.It just breaks my heart to think some children don't get treated well but I have seen that first hand many times during hospital stays. Kids that stay weeks and weeks in ICU with no parents.Oh...I just can't imagine. Ok...can't think about that anymore. Hopefully Kylee's cold doesn't progess into anything worse. Everyone in our house seems to be sick. I got sick while we were in the hospital 2 weeks ago. Jason got sick the weekend they came down to visit. Keegan was also sick the week Kylee was in the hospital and now Collin and Kylee are getting sick. Oh the joys of winter...Can't wait for warm weather.

Yeah!!!! So glad to hear that her ABR showed normal results. Alayna's did the same thing, so it's probably safe to say that this is a common thing for our kids to go through. You are doing a wonderful job with Kylee and you do need to hear that. It helps you get through another day, especially when things get rough and tough. I hope the sickness clears your house soon and things get healthier for all of you. Are you going to the conference in Indy? We made reservations already and we sure hope to meet you!
