Hear We Go Again...

As a first time mother, it was really scary going though this limbo state of not knowing what was going on with our daughter. Every day seemed like a year, I was getting really anxious for the next appointment. Finally, the day came. We had to keep Sydney awake and unfed for 4 hours prior to the screen to ensure that she slept soundly throughout the test. Well trying to keep a newborn awake is near impossible. My sister suggested using ice. This worked very well, but it was torture as a mother to have to listen to Sydney crying the whole way to the hospital because she was so tired and hungry.

This time the audi repeated the tympanometry test and the ABR tests on both ears. It can be a difficult process trying to keep Sydney perfectly still and quiet for 2 hours while not interrupting all the wires attached to her head. The Boppy pillow definitley helped make it a little easier. After the tests were complete I was hoping that we would finally know the outcome. The audi informed us that she would need to review the results and do some calculations. It would be another week before we would know the outcome. Ugggh...
