Hearing problems

Maddy went in to see the audiologist on Tuesday and came out with a referal to an ENT. She completely failed the hearing tests in the left ear. She passed in the right.."but there's still something not right." as said by the audiologist. She's not sure if it's just fluid behind the tympanic membrane in the right ear or what. So off to the ENT we go to see what can be done. They will find out if the hearing problem in the left ear is hearing loss or just fluid as well. If it's just fluid then it can easily be taken care of with tubes. However, if it is actually loss...we'll go from there. Please pray for Maddy. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I'm not completely worried yet...she hasn't had any setbacks thus far from not being able to hear, but I would like to keep it that way. I don't think anything will really hit home until we see the ENT and know for sure what is going on.



As always we love you all. Please keep our family in your prayers we need them. Thanks and until we meet again! Loves.

bella up until last year, would randomly, but not consistently fail hearing tests. it tended to be any time she got sick and congested. The fluid wouldn't drain, but they thought she would grow out of it. Has maddie been sick at all?
