Zem's specialist appointment

Last week on Thursday we went into Sydney to meet up with Zem's new specialist Cathy Birman. Newcastle Hearing Clinic did not send her any information so she just looked at the MRI cd that we bought down and read the report from the other Ear Nose Throat Specialist. Just looking at the MRI, Cathy thinks that there is still a chance of having a cochlear implant in the right ear. To get a 'clearer picture' she has organised more tests for Zem to have. These include an ABR, electrical ABR and possibly another MRI as the machine and personal at Westmead Children's Hospital have more expertise in this area.

So what does this mean for us you may ask? We have to keep Zem wearing hearing aids as much as possible, more trips to Sydney and an unknown end of year/ next year. We will try to keep you up to date with appointment times so that you can pray for us.
