Annual Riley Visit...




Wednesday was Bella annual Riley appointment with Dr Miyamoto and hearing screen



This year they were able to test her right "affected" ear a little more because of her age and cognitive skills.



She also went in the sound booth on her own for the first time.



It was awesome to watch her and was so cute when she didn't hear what they were saying, she'd at least say, "what?"



Bella did awesome!



Her left ear remains in normal range and her left ear show severe/moderate hearing loss because of no canal or opening. Through special testing with different headphones they saw that she responded to some sounds and voice with her right ear currently. Which means they still believe that once she as surgery to open canal she will have normal hearing!



We also met with the plastics surgeon a month ago. If all goes as planned we will start the 1st of 4, 6 hour surgeries in 2 1/2years. That sentence in itself makes this mama very nervous and overwhelmed... but we will tackle that with many prayers and trust as we get closer to surgery time!

Once again, blessed beyond measures for our HEALTHY, happy, and beautiful sweet girl!!!!
