New Tubes and Normal Hearing!


Caleb had his fifth surgical procedure yesterday. Compared to heart surgery, though, this one was pretty minor. He got his second set of ear tubes placed and had an auditory brain stem response (ABR) test done. The ENT told me after surgery that the right tube had fallen out, but there was still a small hole in the ear drum that was letting fluid drain. The tube in the left ear was blocked, and there was a lot of fluid trapped in Caleb's ear. After the new tubes were placed and the fluid was cleared out, an audiologist did the ABR. Caleb's hearing tested normal for all ranges! That was amazing news and a huge answer to prayer!
