Happy 3 Months Aiden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aiden's ultrasound came back as negitive which means "good". The ultrasound tech said it's the best he's seen from all of Aiden's films. His eye exam came back as the plus disease is improving.. Another YAY.. But he had a hearing test today too and that came back poor. They are waiting for the final results but the puliminary results were that one ear is worse then the other and both are not so good. The doctor the went over things with me tonight didn't have much to say about the test. She said they will repeat it but she is not sure when. Then told me it's not the best test in the world so to take it with a grain of salt. That is could mean everything but it could mean nothing.
Well that's not much comfort considering it either means my son is deaf, or he isn't. Which is it??
The nurse said to me she they will repeat the test right before he goes home and if it doesn't look good with refer him to one of the hearing specialists. She also said most of the kids that are referd do very very well. That the out come is very good. I was a bit bummed, but then convinced myself that I think the test is wrong. As the doctor said it could just be cause there is so much noise in room or that Aiden just had too much going on today. So considering he has responded to my voice in the past, I prefer to think he can hear me until I know for sure that he can't, which honestly is not something I want to think about or process right now.
I remembered to take a few pics of the "big boy crib" for everyone. So enjoy...

Little Aiden is doing so well! Don't worry about the hearing yet -babies fail that one all the time while in the NICU due to stress/noise,etc. :)
Oh my goodness he looks so tiny in that big ol' crib! I have to say he just keeps getting cuter!
As for that lousy old hearing test? Don't even think about it for now... I've heard many stories of parents losing sleep over this, when in the end it was all just fine. It's hard to acurately test a little ones hearing, because sometimes they just aren't in the mood to "perform" at test time... they are also very good at "shutting down" when they are over stimulated, so they don't respond to the test. If he is responding to your voice, then chances are his hearing is fine.
My bet is that he has decided not to participate and take a rest - typical, just look at his genetics.. I can say that, i'm his auntie! He looks just adorable in that huge crib! Not so teeny tiny baby anymore... I can't wait to come in again and see him - among other things. Give him lots of kisses from us!
Love,
Auntie Elisa, RJ & Olivia
