CI Meeting

I just want to do a quick post before I leave for the weekend for the Benson Family Reunion. We went to CHOP on Tuesday for the CI team evaluation. At this time, we don't know for certain if Mikaela is eligible for a CI. One of her Audiograms gave borderline results. Meaning that she may have 'too much hearing' for a CI. Good news if she gains enough benefit from the hearing aids. I believe all your prayers are paying off! Anyway, we will have some more specific tests at the end of the month with each ear isolated rather than performing together.

We also had her 9 month well visit today. She lost a lot of weight (10 ounces) at a time when she is supposed to be gaining 1/2 to one ounce per day. Back to trying this 'food' thing! Please say prayers that she tolerates it better now. She has to put this weight back on and then some. At this time, she is in the 18 percentile for weight....not too good!

I'll post more next week!
