The "duh" has to do with Robby's hearing evaluation last week. The Mandarin translator did not show up, therefore we couldn't easily communicate the instructions to Robby. He was supposed to drop a block into a pail every time he heard a sound, plus a couple of other things. Anyway the results of the test showed that Robby had a profound hearing loss 0f 80-90 decibels. We know this is not right. The doctor even said it was a bad result because if that was his actual level of loss, he wouldn't be able to speak with the skill he does. So we came away form the audiologist knowing that Robby has an 'undetermined hearing loss'...Duh.
The good news: We got the results of Robby's blood and lab work back. Everything looks great! No abnormal levels, no disease, we don't even have to repeat most of his vaccinations!
We have a CT Scan scheduled for Sept 7th. The results will be sent to Dr. Roberson in California to see if Robby is a candidate to have his ear canals opened. This would increase his ability to hear.
