Eye Surgery Post-Op
So Isaiah's surgery went well. They warned us ahead of time that his eye would be blood shot and he would have bloody tears. But there's nothing quite like holding your baby and him crying blood from one eye. It was intense. But he has been healing great and his eyes are working together a lot better!
EEG and Hearing Test
After our six month follow up with the neurologist we decided to do another EEG and a hearing test. The EEG was to make sure that an eye movement he does is not a seizure. The eye doctor is very confident it's related to the eye muscles, and since his surgery we haven't seen it much at all. But we wanted to make sure we weren't missing anything. His results came back the same as before. Abnormal. But that is to be expected based on his MRI. So nothing new there.
The hearing test however was inconclusive. Doing a hearing test on a normal ten month old isn't always conclusive anyway. However, Isaiah was not responding to most of the stimuli on his right side. When they played noises he would often turn his head left (not every time they played a noise on the left though...) but when they played them on the right he never turned that direction. They also put a thingy (super technical right?) that played some higher pitch noises and he wasn't giving normal responses. So instead of waiting a few months and most likely getting more inconclusive results with the same test we went up a level. This requires mild sedation so they can get ear specific information. They will be able to tell us for each ear if there is any range of hearing that he is missing. If he is missing any ranges this could explain his speech delays, but it could also mean he needs a hearing aid(es). So that test is tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

Almost One
You guys. Isaiah is almost one. I plan on doing a more involved post in the next couple of weeks about what his first year has brought for us but I can't believe it's coming up already. This month. My baby will be a year old. CRAZY.
As always thank you all for your prayers and support. Feel free to contact us if we can be praying for you!
