Well, Molly heard that her cousins were stepping out on Dr. Mackey with the ENT, and well she just couldn't let them have all the fun so she had to jump on that band wagon as well. She had her 1st visit with the ENT last week, we saw Dr. Amin. I really liked him. He was so nice and he was great with Molly and all the kids really. Sam went with me, thank heavens; and all 5 kids. We are/were concerned because when we had her hearing tested it showed that she has a Moderate hearing loss. We thought that maybe there was fluid in her ears, but no they were good when they were checked. So now we are waiting for CHOC to call us back to schedule her for an ABR, it's basically a sedated hearing test. They put her under GA, and stimulate her brain/brain stem. It's the most accurate way to test her hearing, and this way if there is a hearing loss they will be able to determine if it's in one or both of her ears, and how severe it really is.
The nice thing was that the Dr, explained everything to us, and took the time to reassure us. All this in the 1st visit! So now we just wait, and see what happens! At least we will finally know, and if there is a problem, we can get her the help that she needs early!
