today Noah had his 2 week check-up with the pediatrician.. last time we took him to the doctor,they were a little concerned about his ear canal being too small,,well,today was the first day that our actual pedi looked at it,and he discovered that his ear canal isn't even open. It just stops,there is no way he can hear out of it,explaining why he failed his hearing test both times,,he had a third scheduled,but our pedi recommended cancelling it,because he will fail,and referred us to our ear,nose,and throat doc at Vanderbilt (the same one we used for Kruise), so we're waiting for them to get back to us on when his appointment is,,We're hoping that a simple surgery can be done or maybe he'll tell us it will get better as he grows,,that would be awesome,,we're just praying our sweet little guy won't have to be partially deaf,,I know it could be worse,but all you want as a mom is for your kids to be healthy and happy,so when something like this happens,it's like a catastrophe you can't control..just pray for little Noah and that we only get good news!
On the brighter side,,after losing about a pound his first week,he is now more than his birth rate! He is 6 lbs 7 oz (the 5th percentile) he's so tiny! I know he'll catch up with his big bro in no time!
after the rough day we had,I was holding him, talking to him while he was actually awake and alert,and he looked in my eyes and gave me the BIGGEST cheesiest dimpled smile today! It was like he was saying, "don't worry mom!"
Oh how I love my little boys!
