Kieran's has had two different things lately relating to his hearing. A early child special education from the state department (I think) came into our home and evaluated him on motor skills and verbal skills to see if his minimal hearing loss was effecting his development in any way. He scored inside the normal ranges! Yeah! Since Svea is so protective of her brother with strangers we talked about "the teacher named Sarah" that was coming to our house. I told her she was going to work with Kieran and on about the 10th time she finally was coming around to it. She said, "I ask the teacher if she teaches at Emily Elizabeth's school". Very cute! Anyway, that was good.
Dan and I took Kieran to his genetics appointment the other day and the Dr. said I either contracted a certain type of virus that could have led to Kieran's hearing loss while pregnant or it is something on my mitochondrial DNA that I've passed to him. Both chances are small and we decided we wouldn't run those two tests unless he progressively gets worse when they evaluate his hearing every six months. He will go in to get evaluated again most likely in August.
So good news! No issues so far and hopefully that loss just stays what it is:) We are SO thankful he is so healthy and happy.
