Lexi's School Birthday Party

Before Christmas break I took some treats into Lexi's class for her birthday. She was the only one for the month with a birthday. I think I would have been a great Classroom Mother. I hope I get to help with my other kids.

Sedated Hearing Test

Back in October Alexis had a bunch of ear infections and was practically deaf. At least I felt that she was. So I took her to an ENT. He scheduled a hearing test for her after she had taken all of her antibiotics. At this appointment we were going to decide whether or not she would need tubes in her ears as well. When we got to her appointment she did not have fluid in her ears so she would not need the tubes however, her hearing test showed mild hearing loss in her left ear. The person who did the hearing test wanted Alexis to be tested further through a sedated hearing test. So off to Grand Rapids we went.

I was worried about her being sedated. The last time she was sedated was when she was two or younger. I was impressed with the medical staff there. They made her feel very comfortable and she didn't even fight when them it came to get her IV put in. She was a trooper. The test came back that she has mild hearing loss in her left ear. No big deal for now because her right ear is fine.
