Once you know for sure what you are dealing with you will feel so much better. It will be okay. He's still your perfect little gift from God but with an issue that needs extra special attention. My oldest has CAPD, ADHD, OCD, anxiety and Tourette's Syndrome. I knew for years before the diagnosis that something wasn't right. I would watch my beautiful daughter contort her face and do strange things and think "My God, my daughter is a freak. She's going to be made fun of. Her life will be so hard." But once I knew what we were dealing with I felt better and it's been okay. Some days are hard but my love for her is so great that I would walk to the ends of the earth to make sure she doesn't feel "defective". It's our cross to bear and we are making the best of it.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully your son's doctors are being overly cautious and worrying you for nothing. It's a sue happy world so they have to cover all their bases. Hearing tests weren't mandatory when my first 3 kids were born. If I had my son tested I'm guessing he would have had results similar to your sons. He flunked his tympanogram until he was 4 because he had so much fluid and wax in his ears. He has severe asthma and enlarged tonsils. Sometimes he has hearing loss with colds. It's very likely your sons hearing loss is due to something that can be remedied and not due to some syndrome or progressive hearing loss. As hard as it is try not to freak out just yet. Get all your test results and info first. There's a good chance that it won't be as bad as you think. And if it is you will get through it. You think you won't but a parents love is so strong that something kicks in just when we need it.<BR/><BR/>All my best to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361777463921594082.post-36601478976604311062007-08-17T09:50:00.000-05:002007-08-17T09:50:00.000-05:00Oh Annie...

I know it's easier said then done, but I also know what it's like being a mommy and being worried about your baby... and getting a cry or a yell or a bath or a drive alone... sometimes is the best remedy!<BR/>Please please please keep us updated on J!!<BR/>xo,<BR/>AudreyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361777463921594082.post-15648004266231308782007-08-17T07:53:00.000-05:002007-08-17T07:53:00.000-05:00You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
