Audiology

Hannah has an excellent audiologist following her. She had an extensive hearing exam that took about two hours. And we found out excellent news!!! She has normal hearing in her right ear. That is wonderful. This will be a huge advantage for her. Remember that during the first three days in the hospital they told us that she needed nose and heart surgery and was blind and deaf. We have since found out that she isn't deaf and will have some vision impairments but probably won't be completely blind. So to someone reading this for the first time it may seem terrible what Hannah is going through but things are looking better than what we had expected.

Hannah does have a follow up visit for an additional hearing test to finish her left ear. She has to be completely asleep to do this exam and needless to say that after an hour of being nearly perfect she decided that she was hungry and not going to cooperate anymore. The diagnostics so far isn't looking good for her left ear, but we are still hopeful. We have already seen so many miracles in her and our lives that we aren't going to count her out yet. Please keep praying for our little princess. We do believe that her one ear is already a blessing to her and her family and is a result to many heartfelt prayers and fasting for our little family.

We would also like to give a big thanks to Children's Mercy and the wonderful staff that they have there. We enjoyed the people that we worked with and feel grateful for their diligence on helping their patients.
