tests tests and more tests.

i had to get a life organizer on my ipad. Hudson has had more appointments in his short 3.5 months of life than emmy has ever had in her nearly 3 years of life. i used to consider my memory above average. after the first little, i experienced a slight decrease in the brain functioning department and now with a second little, all i see is a 'gone fishin' sign when i try to recall thoughts and events. such is life, and thank heavens they have an app for that. our sweet Hudson boy had another hearing test last week, which went much better, but the next baby arrived before his testing was complete forcing us to return again tomorrow. he had ear molds done last week for his teeny tiny baby hearing aids which he will be fitted for in the middle of august. i'm anxious to know if this will be the answer. i'm hoping hearing aids is all it will take. i know the cochlear implant surgery is a wonderful thing...if it works. if it doesn't work, it completely strips the ear of any sound whatsoever with no way to fix it. quite a big decision to make. one that i would be terrified to make. at Hudson's last weeks' test, we were told if his hearing really is in the range they thought it was showing in the most recent test, than he wouldn't even be a candidate for cochlear implants anyway because hearing aids would be the solution.

and soon music to his ears. he would be able to develop his speech and everything at a somewhat normal pace and catch right up to his little pals by the time he goes to school. we want nothing more than for him than to feel normal and accepted despite this slight setback. we are prepared to do whatever it takes. and i will keep you posted.
