Hearing Test

Madelyn had her hearing tested today at the local hospital. She did amazingly well. She was quiet, sat still when needed, and co-operated with the technician. Plus her hearing is well within the normal range. We will continue with annual hearing tests to make sure she doesn't have any gradual hearing loss. All babies that have spent many weeks in the NICU, plus on very strong antibiotics need to have their hearing checked. Plus CDH babies have a higher risk of loosing their hearing as they grow older. I was not really concerned at this time because Madelyn is always asking be about sounds around the house or when we are out and about. She will say, "What's that sound Mommy?" I have to stop and think because I can't hear anything, but usually it's a car coming down the road, or the cat purring on the chair, or even the fridge motor running in the kitchen. We continue to pray that her hearing stays sharp.
