Addy Grace

This past Thursday we had a big ENT appointment for Addy. 

From the time we brought Addy home from China, I have said I didn't think she could hear clearly. I knew she could hear some, but not completely. I've been "gently coaxing" the ENT to check further. So, he ordered a hearing test. She had one in the past but they didn't think it was an accurate result because she was so little. So, we had the test. She did so good and was so adorable!

She got a special sticker for being a good girl. 

Diagnosis: She can hear fine. However, the pressure of the sound waves against her ear drums is way out of whack. For a normal test, the average is 20-25. Addy is 190 in one ear and 195 in the other. Basically she is hearing like she is under water. I think this is a case of mothers intuition at it's finest! Ha! 

Next steps. 

Monday we are heading to surgery. She is getting her tonsils and adenoids out, as well as tubes in her ears. Her tonsils are massive. They actually touch. So, we pray this surgery will help our girl. I haven't heard of a negative comment about this surgery! Everyone keeps telling me what a big difference it will make. We are excited for our Addycakes. So, if you could say a little prayer for our girl, we'd appreciate it. 

And because she did such an amazing job with all the poking and prodding, we had ice cream for lunch. She deserved it!
