Alyssa had moderate hearing loss, however this may change in time as she has very small ear canals. The loss isn't a major issue now as she hears us well because we're generally in close proximty of her. We'll follow things closely and in time she may need hearing aides or maybe not~time will tell.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:14) Being grown in faith because of my daughters diagnosis of Trisomy 18, a rare genetic syndrome. This is my reality of loving Alyssa and the impact she makes in our family. I praise God for showing us His grace and revealing our human frailty throughout this journey.

To hear or not to hear that is the question
Alyssa had an unsedated ABR hearing exam recently. This is what it looks like...the third visit was the charm; she slept like an old lady!

Trish,
ReplyDeleteOne amazing looking little girl. I forgot about this blog and kept waiting for the caringbridge notification. Wow I have been missing some updating and healthy new pictures. I will be a regular once again.
Do you think you will make conference? Praying for this meeting.
