We survived the Hearing Tests… both boys had fluid behind the ears… Gavin had borderline normal/below normal results but Zander had to have it go up a frequency. This could mean that they have fluid there all the time, or just as a result of the plethera of colds they have had this year. However that does mean that what they hear is the equivalent of being underwater. So I made another appointment with Dr. Saini their pediatrician and the hearing people want them back in 4 months to recheck. No talk of tubes, but we will deal with whatever is the result of all this. Maybe if we can get rid of the fluid (I am told antibiotics can do this too sometimes) they will hear better and finally start talking.
The weekend is here already – time just zipped right by. Tomorrow we are having Grandma Anna (my mom) over to watch the twins in the morning and we are taking in our mountain of cans and bottles and doing some shopping. I need to look into backpack style carriers, carrying Emanuel on my chest – at least in the chest carrier (we are still working out the sling) is hard on my back – that combined with my larger chest is just too much.
I finally caught Emanuel smiling on the camera, Ken’s hair is there too but the joy in his little eyes – priceless. I had gotten a coupon for buy one get one free for a photo album maker so I think Ken and I are going to make one of Emanuel and one of the Twins for me. The mini book… we just have to have it shipped to Ken’s parents’ and then up here as the company’s Canadian shipping costs are VERY high.
We are less than a week away from Zander’s MRI and I am nervous about it… I guess we just have to put our worries in God’s hands and go there hoping for the best… right?
