All though this is FABULOUS news, it leaves us SO confused! The ENT suspects that although apparently he can hear what he needs to, he may have a problem processing what he hears. He explained it by saying that he may not be able to tell the difference between "noise" and what's "important" (i.e. words and speech sounds) and that everything he hears may sound like "noise". So what the freak does that mean?!?! We don't know. The next step is private speech therapy. Maybe they will have some answer's for us. We'll keep the updates coming as we get them. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!

We're confused!
We had Lucas' sedated ABR today and are thrilled and confused at the same time. We have had 2 ENT's, 1 Audiologist, 1 speech therapist, and 2 tests that have ALL said that Lucas has hearing loss. The test today said otherwise. Apparently he can hear normal conversation levels and some whispers. They are concerned about his ability for low level hearing so we will be continuing with the ENT's office with testing every 3 months starting next week.

That's good news...I think. Maybe he's just choosing to ignore everyone because he doesn't think we have anything "important" to say. Smart kid! He's got the doctor's stumped anyway. Keep us informed!
What the heck? It's so hard to get real answers. And the poor little guy can't tell you what's going on yet. It seems like everyone is just guessing. We'll continue to pray for you guys!
What? How confusing and frustrating. I'm sure you are anxious to get some solid answers so that you can move on to treating it. I hope you are able to get some answers soon.
it's so hard when they are little and can't talk and just tell you what the problem is. we'll still keep you in our prayers.
