So today went really well. Natalie done so good, which she usually does...she just sat there while the dr & the audiologist put stuff in her ears...lol...guess shes use to it by now!! So the results are.....drum roll please...tubes are good, no fluid, and hearing is almost totally normal...the one ear is still on the low end of normal, but good. We go back in 6 months and the dr. said her hearing should be totally normal by then...so we will see...

I think in my heart I knew her ears were ok. I had noticed a huge improvement in her hearing since the tubes. Just not really the speech. But now that I know her ears are ok, Im good. I think I will talk to her teacher when she comes out on thursday to see where she stands in speech...and if shes ok then I will put the whole issue to rest...lol...

well thanks for caring guys...

much love to yas :o)

Follow Up ENT Appt

So tomorrow is the day of Natalies follow up appt for the tubes in her ears. I am kinda concernced cause she still pulls at her ears, mainly her left...and her language hasnt picked up at all. I wasnt expecting a motor mouth after the tubes...lol...but was under the impression that her language would pick up. I was talking with my husband about this the other night and i came to realize that there maybe more reasons of why her speech seems to be delayed....

1. Because I know what she wants and I get what ever for her without her saying the word.

2. Maybe she is just speech delayed due to her diagnosis.

3. Who knows, maybe its as simple as...maybe she just doesnt want to talk!!

4. Or maybe there really is a problem some where with the tubes, maybe they fell out, or maybe just dont work...lol... 

Dont get me wrong, if shes speech delayed, im ok with that...if thats what it is, then we will work on it. I think im stressin/worrying what ever you want to call it because i dont know where the problem is, wether its her ears or not...ugh...

Well I will let yas know how it turns out...

bye for the moment!!
