Daddy and Bella giggling in the office after her hearing test.Today we went to Riley hospital to meet with Dr Miyamoto to learn more about Izabella's little ear. Microtia is the medical term of her ear. We started with 2 different hearing test for her left "good"ear and she passed both with flying colors. Basically our appointment with the doctor was just a consultation and he told us we would be waiting awhile before we do any procedures. At 3 or 4 years old she we will have a CT-scan to see what the inside of the ear looks like. Dr Miyamoto is 90% confident that all the necessary parts are inside the ear and hearing could be possible! If we choose to do constructive surgery we would start around age 6 and it would take 3 or 4 surgeries over a years times.
In the meantime he told us to make sure her "good" ear stays good and we will have a follow-up hearing test in 6 months.
Bella patiently waiting for the Dr to arrive. She was a very good baby especially since we were there during her nice long nap!
Mommy and Bella happy that we are all done and have a clean bill of health!!!
