Tomorrow morning I will be getting up at 4am to take my granddaughter L to a specialist in Duluth. She will be put under and there they will guage just how severe the loss of hearing is in both ears. Prior to this it was deemed that in one ear she had a 95% hearing loss and in the other ear she was just barely passable.
During this time under, they will be seeing if surgery will be necessary and have her fitted for at least one if not both ears for hearing aids. When she seen the specialist before, he felt that by the time he saw her again to do this surgery (they consider it surgery as they are putting her under.......this is not an invasive surgery where they actually make incisions) that she was probably going to need surgery and still need the aid of at least one hearing aid.
Now i realize that for some, this probably isn't such a serious thing (no life and death matter) but for me its very heart wrenching to see my beloved 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter not only have to go thru this procedure but to watch her struggle everyday to hear things most of us take for granted.
Please Keep L in your thoughts and prayers that everything turns out well for her. Thank You!!
