Hearing test and Echo

This week we have had tests, many tests, I am sure this is just the beginning, today we heard back on her hearing test, but we are still waiting for her echo results.

A hearing test is a very routine test that is done before babies are discharged, they have been trying to test Noelle's ears since Monday and this kid was not having it. She has been PISSED every time they put the machine up to her head. They finally this morning caught her in a deep sleep and were able to do the test. Unfortunately she failed. The doc explained to me that it is very common with kids that have cleft pallets to have ear issues, so we will be going in to the specialist in July to have more testing done and see what is going on.

Her echo was done yesterday, we are still awaiting the results, it appears that there is still a small PDA and ASD, we will see what the doc says after radiology reads the test. We pray and hope this will fix on its own so she won't have to have another surgery.

As for now we are still waiting for Noelle to gain weight. She has either lost weight or stayed the same weight, once they can get her to steadily gain weight she will be able to come home!
