testing phase...

We have decided that its time to move things forward & find out why this has happened to savannah. I think it will also help us close this door & be able to move forward more clearly.
We have started the paperwork for savannahs newborn screening test to be re-tested for CMV. It hasn't been too difficult thankfully, i assume this has been quite a popular test for families that are trying to also determine what made their child deaf.
Hopefully we should have results within 14 days. I really really hope that this isn't what she has got. This can cause ALOT more problems later down the track :(
I will keep you updated on the process, if its negative we are referred to the Royal children's Hospital for genetic testing, then off for an MRI.

Off the subject i thought i would tell you all excitedly that savannah started trying to roll. VERY EXCITING!!! she also has become much stronger in the neck & is moving quite noticeably on her belly in a circle! very exciting, because it gives us hope that she may not fall behind developmentally :)
