We found out Liam has a mild hearing loss, but it is temporary and due to fluid in his ears. He never has ear infections, but has had chronic fluid in his ears for some time now. The docs are hypothesizing that this is one reason his speech is delayed. We are meeting with an ENT sometime in the new year to determine next steps but we really hope to avoid a surgery to put tubes in his ears. He's just been through so many surgeries, and the fluid will clear up and only cause speech delays, we hate to pursue it further. However, we'll consult with the experts and then make a decision. Based on this news and the recommendations that were made by the occupational therapist who did his feeding eval recently, Liam will be starting both speech and occupational therapy in the new year.
I tried to post Christmas pictures last night, but we got a new computer and I need help figuring out how to set up the e-mail account. Grr. I love technology, but trying to get everything set up on a new computer can be very frustrating!!
All the best to you and yours in the New Year!
In Christ,
Lisa
