Ry's Hearing Test

Well as many of you know, Rylan had trouble passing her hearing test when she was born. We have seen two audiologists and an ENT doctor. We went back this Wednesday for the sixth or seventh test and she still did not pass. There is fluid in both ears that could be causing her to not pass the hearing test. At any rate, the ENT doctor said that with that much fluid in her ears, she isn't hearing the way she needs to. It is as if everything she hears is muffled. So in April she will go to Cooks Children's Hospital and get tubes put in both ears. The doctor said it takes about 2 minutes for him to do his part and she wouldn't be out for that long at all. We will only be at the hospital for a couple hours and she won't know anything went on. The doctor said she will be her normal self when we leave the hospital. The only problem is that now she might hear when Lynlee cries at night! About two weeks after they put the tubes in we will go back to the audiologist and do another hearing test. From there we will have a definate answer to whether or not she has any hearing lost. I personallyl think she is just fine and once we get rid of the fluid she will be good to go. So now you are all updated.
