Riley had BAER test number two today, and we came home with some positive results! Riley has NO hearing loss in his right ear! There is fluid in both ears, so they'll put tubes in both of his ears during his surgery...which isn't a big deal! For now, we know that he has a pretty dramatic hearing loss in his left ear and NO hearing loss in his right ear. Today, the doctor also said that the hearing loss might be a direct effect of the amount of fluid in his ear, and that there's a huge possibility that things could totally clear up once the surgery is over! This is GREAT news, and what we've been praying for. Thanks so much to everyone who has prayed specifically for these appointments in the past 2 weeks. Tomorrow, we're in Santa Monica. Not sure what will evolve from that appointment, but you can be sure that I'll update this blog ASAP!
Speaking of "blogs":
Starting NOW, this blog will be soley dedicated to medical updates regarding RIley's condition. I've started a separate blog where lighter descussion will take place (ie pumpkin patch trips, zoo outings etc...). http://theothercause.blogspot.com

Yay! What great news! I am sure that the tubes in his ears will help to clear everything up! I am so glad to hear that his hearing has not been affected in one of his ears! This is wonderful! ~Love, Loretta
