One appointment down.....

On Thursday, Vernon, Kaden, and I traveled to Fresno. We got there early and had about a good hour wait for his appointment, not wanting to risk getting lost or be late for the appointment we were early for we decided to go in and wait. I was so nervous, How are they gonna test my babies hearing when he cant tell you, yes I hear that beep or even raise his hand for the side that the beep is going off on??? Well the answer is very simple, they put me and him in a sound proof room and had huge speakers they would do a sound in one side and when he looked over then a teddy bear hitting a drum and flashing lights would go off as positive reinforcement. He was so ready to be gone by the time we finally got seen that he would smile at the bears as they were doing their thing, and go back to fighting me, (not wanting to be held on my lap). So there is a lot of good news and a little not so good news. So good news HE CAN HEAR!!!!! The slightly not so good news is he has fluid in his left ear and that could be causing him not to hear the lower tones. SO they will file their report and send it to our doc, who will probably refer us to an ENT specialist. YAY another doctor appointment for the poor little guy. And we have to go back in 3 months to see if there is an improvement. If not then we will go from there. BUT HE CAN HEAR! SO that is the latest and greatest on Kader. His next appointment is on the 30th and that is with the speech specialist. On the first we will be seeing some behavior specialist. I will keep everyone as updated as possible. TTYL!
