Just another answered prayer

Today Adyn had his hearing test at ENT of Georgia with Dr. Browning at 1:30 p.m. First we saw an audiologist who was wonderful. She took us to the room & told me to sit in a chair that was in a box looking thing. Okay, if you are claustrophobic I would not recommend getting this hearing test which I think is called the behavioral audiometry. Luckily it did not bother me too much because both of my babies were with me & I could see the audiologist. She played a few sounds & Adyn was to turn his head towards each sound. He did great & turned towards every sound. She then placed little things into his ears to take pictures to make sure his ear drums were okay. Everything turned out great.

We saw Dr. Browning after the test & he was wonderful as well. He was recommended by my friend Jessica whose 2 kids had tubes done by him. He checked Adyn's ears & said he has little ear canals but everything look good & no fluid in the ears. After examining Adyn's ears he didn't seem concerned. He mentioned he doesn't know much about pediatric speech but from experience with family kids & his own they all do things at their own pace. I totally agreed with him! McKenzie did EVERYTHING so early where as Adyn hasn't. Adyn does say mama, dada, nana & babbles a lot (sometimes he gets so into it & I just wish I knew what all the babbling meant). The Babies Can't Wait therapist said once he gets his walking down his speech will come soon after that. I think she's right! Dr. B is sending a letter to Adyn's neurologist who referred Adyn to him. He said if he's still concerned the next step is an auditory brain stem response test. This test would require Adyn to be sedated. They place wires to the scalp & sounds are made into the ears. The test doesn't take that long but Dr. B said he highly doubt he would want that done. I hope he's right because I don't want Adyn to be sedated anymore plus all the other testing was normal. His speech will come soon enough & if not we will see a speech therapist I'm sure (I mean we have already seen every other specialist known).

I want to thank all of you who have been praying for Adyn & the family through this challenge. All prayers are being answered (Jeremiah 33:3)! I really appreciate all the thoughts & messages I get asking how Adyn's doing. PRAISE GOD! Until next time...
