So, finally the time came to have Lillian retested. They did another OAE and also a tampenometry test ( which checks to make sure there is no fluid in the ear). Again, you all know the results, she didnt pass. Again, my mother in law had gone with me, just for moral support. While they were doing the OAE I watched as she prayed silently beside me. For some reason the news this time while not what I wanted to hear, wasnt as heart piercing as it had been in the past. I guess unknown to anyone else, I had prayed that if there was a problem that the Lord would give me peace about it as well as strength because I knew in a situation like this Tony was going to be very heart broken. He is such a protector for this tiny child and this is something he cant protect her from. Anyways, we met with the ENT after the audiologist preformed her tests and he said not to freak out. She obviously hears things because she startles and wakes to loud sounds. He recommended a more advanced test that would show exactly what she is hearing. We tried to get in w/Charlotte EENT but would have to wait until August. That simply wouldnt do for me. I wanted to know at that exact moment, so that if we needed amplification (aka hearing aids) we could get them ASAP so that her speech will not be delayed. We scheduled a BAER (brain stem auditory evoked response test) for that Thursday.
