Kieran's Dr. Appointment

 Kieran had his one month follow-up appointment with the ENT Doctor today. To make a long story short the Doctor really thinks his hearing issues are due to fluid behind his inner ear.  She could see some of it and in one of his tests he was hearing some of the pitches.  It's not that he didn't hear other pitches, but the machine wouldn't even run the rest of the pitches because there was "something" blocking the sounds,which would be the fluid.  We'll take him back in three months.  There is a 25% chance that the fluid will drain on it's own, but if it doesn't then they will want to put tubes in his ears right away or at least before six months when he's really going to need to be able to hear our voices better as babies are already forming language at this point.  The doctor said he can hear, but probably not below 30 decibels.  Normal conversation is at 50-60 decibels so he can hear, but our voices are a bit muffled.  We are very thankful that it's looking like Kieran's hearing loss is not permanent and he will hopefully eventually hear normally!

Happy One Month Baby Boy!  I'll take your one month picture tomorrow!  Today was just too crazy!
