So far So good..

Yesterday we had some more hearing tests done on savannah. We where meant to have a full set but she had other plans lol. We only got through the aided tests but where pleasantly suprised with how well she did & how well she is hearing from her aides. The results show that in the Left ear (Mod/severe ear) she is hearing 45db in each pitch which means she is getting the entire speech banana!!! Her right is also hearing aided at 55db, which is not as good but still in the speech range. Wonderful exciting results. So far it looks like the hearing aides are doing their job!!! VERY VERY happy with this! She will continue to have hearing tests every 8 weeks to perfect her scores, she also needs to have a complete unaided test to identify where we are at with her hearing scores. At the moment they cannot move her category so she is staying mod/sev, profound. But seeing we havent done solid tests since diagnosis & since the fluid has moved they are sure this will change! So continue to to pray that she scores better on the testing to come :)

On another note, our audiologist has given us the green light for an FM system! Im sooooooo friggin excited! This will help her sooo much when we are in the car, out in public or noisey areas & at home when the boys are screaming. FM systems basically block out background noise so that she can identify sounds from the person speaking with the FM on. Its a great device, worth ALOT of $$ but its ALL subsidised except the icom system which is a proper fitting of the FM shoe on her hearing aides they are $680...So for now we have to get the free option which unfortunately will make her hearing aides heavier & bulkier but we dont have a choice right now. We are def saving for those icoms though!! lol

We had her speech therapist Julia come this morning & we are on the right track with savannah! She is doing wonderfully for her age & hearing & so far is sailing along with her hearing peers. Hopefully this will continue as well go along, but we are excited again for all the wonderful advancements that savannah keeps showing.

Great couple of days hopefully things will continue down this path, we have lots of homework to do with her & hopefully it will ALL pay of in the end!
