October 4, 2006 - 12 Days Before Surgery

As many of you know, we have had a lot of challenges with fluid in Aiden's ears. This fluid has actually postponed his surgery once already. Aiden has tubes in both ears (which have had to be replaced once already) to drain that fluid out.

Today we had an appointment with our Audiologist in Kingson that we have been looking forward to with great anticipation (and some nervousness!).

The Audiologist performed a Tymp test on Aiden (A Tympanography involves inserting a small device into the ear canal to measure eardrum absorption of sound under different air pressures. It shows how well the Eustachian tube is working, and how well the eardrum can move. A graphic printout, called a tympanogram, illustrates the movement of the eardrum. This graphic printout is also supposed to indicate levels of inner ear fluid as well).

And, great news!!! The test showed that Aiden's fluid levels are good. And, his right ear tube is open :>

While we were at the Audiologist's office, she noticed that there was a lot of discharge in Aiden's left ear. An ENT had a look at his ear, drained the fluid with suctioning and gave us antibiotics and ear drops to clear up an infection.

But, the main news of the day is that his right ear looks good - and that's the ear they want to Implant.
