Annual Ear Check...

Wednesday we went to Riley Children's Hospital for Bella's annual hearing and ear check.

Since when we learned last year that Bella has all a cochlear, inner parts, and one day she can hear out of that ear...these next few years are just maintenance follow up visit.

They will not do surgery on her ear until she is around 7 or 8, they will start with the construction of her outer ear done by a plastic surgeon and then followed reconstruction of her inner ear by Dr Miyamoto. This will be a couple year process with 4-5 surgeries.
Dr Miyamoto just continues to reinforce that we "keep the good ear good".

This year we were able to check her hearing through her cognitive skills. (in years past we were just able to do sound wave hearing screens because of her age)

They did a few test which they thought she still may be too young for but she did great and with that found out she continues to be in the normal hearing range with her "good" ear.

Each time we walk through the doors of Riley were are reminded how truly blessed we are to have a , healthy and happy child!!!!

Getting a McDonald's treat, she picked a sprite, for being a good girl!!
