Melanie had her hearing tested yesterday (delayed due to her ear infections 2 weeks ago). We sat in a sound-proof booth and listened to various sounds, and she was rewarded for hearing them and reacting to them with a dancing duck in a box. Interesting! She has moderate hearing loss in both ears, due to fluid behind her ears. Apparently there is a muscle that goes from the eustachian tubes to the palate, which may have been "traumatized" by her surgery, resulting in an accumulation of the fluid. We are on a one-week course of antibiotics to see if that takes care of it; otherwise, we may be looking at tubes. Colin had them and they worked wonders; I'm not really concerned.
Time to make the donuts ...
