More Testing

Today we took the little guy for an Auditory Brainstem Response (“ABR”) test. This test measures whether sound that enters the ear is properly stimulating the auditory nerve. It requires sedation, which is always a bit disconcerting. He did fine, though. The test was negative — there is no problem with his auditory nerve or hearing. This is a good thing, but also in a way disappointing. If that were “the problem,” there are implants that can help correct it. Next week we go for an extended speech evaluation, and then in a few weeks we go for the 72-hour video EEG and start the new meds. Keep us in your prayers.
