The Results Are In!

After struggling for an hour to get her to sleep, she fell asleep as the nurse came in to give her another 1/2 dose of the medication to help her sleep.
Mr. Incredible and I fled out of the doctor's office for some coffee to help our sleep deprivation. Less than an hour after the testing began, the nurse called us back. The testing was supposed to have taken an hour to 1.25 hours.
The audiologist reported that Elizabeth has normal hearing!
Say what?! No, way!? Your kidding, right?!? These were just some of the thoughts that went through our minds.
So according to the testing, Elizabeth has normal hearing down to 30 decibals (this is as low as an ABR goes) and we need another audiogram (done locally) in 6 mo. to see what her hearing is between 0-30 decibals. Her previous one showed a loss up to 35 decibals.
We are still processing this information because this is good news, but it also has an impact on the services Elizabeth is currently getting or was going to get this coming school year. Though she has "normal" hearing she could still have a loss between 0-30 decibals. Having a loss between 0-30 decibals means that she has a mild hearing loss and cannot hear things such as birds chirping or water dripping, but her loss isn't significant enough to have hearing aids.
It's amazing that we purposefully wanted to adopt a child with special needs when we adopted Elizabeth and she is our most "normal" child yet! :) God is truly working in her life and ours. We are in awe.
