Let's hope it is a treat at least. We head down to Children's tomorrow to have Colin fitted for a BAHA (Bone Anchored Hearing Aid). Hopes for reconstructive surgery to correct his atresia (closed ear canal) and possibly provide him with more complete hearing were crushed after an MRI was done in the Spring. The inner and outer canals are too narrow and if surgery was done, after scar tissue build up, we would be back where we started. So, we are looking into have a surgery done for a semi-permanent BAHA.
The doctor has warned us that kids Colin's age often don't like the BAHA's. I guess hearing through bone-anchoring is a lot different than what we're used to, not to mention it will make everything sound ten times louder to him, but we are hoping for the best and that he sees a remarkable difference with it. We may be able to try it out tomorrow and see what he thinks. I'll keep you posted!
We headed to Masontown Sunday to see Jeremy. It was a nice visit once we got there...needless to say we were hit by a Harley on the way. NICE! Everyone was fine. Thank the Lord!!! Even the riders of the motorcycle. Traffic had stopped abruptly in front of us, and unfortunately the bike was following to close behind and was not able to stop on the freshly paved asphalt. Luckily he was able to lay the bike down before impact and he and his passenger were both fine. We arrived two hours late, but we arrived nonetheless. Safe and Sound!
