Firsts

Loves to feed herself!

This has been a week of firsts-first time in the pool, first time to eat peanut butter and jelly and first time to go to church! It was the second time we took her to the doctor though. The good news is that her ear infection is all cleared up. The bad news....she can't hear. That would explain why she isn't verbalizing very much! The doctor noticed that there was still a lot of fluid in Claire's ears and after I told her that the foster mother said she didn't talk much and when she did it wasn't clear, Dr. Hutton decided to check for hearing. First she used a machine to blow air in the ear canals to see if the ear drum moved. One ear did not respond and the other responded, but not enough to be considered in the normal range. Next, The doctor put another machine in Claire's ears to check for hearing. One ear failed and the other just barely passed. Needless to say, we have an appointment with the ENT on Monday morning!
