Klaire's appt went well. I won't define well. We now know that she has no fluid therefore she has no need for tubes. Route A = cancelled.
She did end up failing her hearing test. The audiologist said that her "failure" was in part thanks to her mini meltdown and lack of attention to the test.
The Lord was sweet to me on the day of the test. He pressed us to pray specifically for two things...a)the doctor would be quick to test her today and if there was need for another test and not make us wait 3 more months to see him...b)the audiologist would be patient with Klaire and not quick/impatient/too busy to test her. (*Karoline had a great lady the 1st time and a lady the 2nd time that was too busy to test her.)
Well, the Lord answered both of those prayers...a)the doctor scheduled Klaire 2 months sooner at a different surgery center than the usual because he didn't want to lose anymore time with her...b)Klaire had the 2nd audiologist that Karoline had. I was nervous, but she was amazing and spoke such truth into us and over Klaire.
The Lord is so good.
My quiet time that morning was about continuing to pray for what the Lord has pressed into us even when we don't get answers. Spurgeon asked (in my words),"Do you want the Lord's timing or your own???" The Lord and I were not seeing eye to eye at first. Quiet time was longer than usual that day. :)
So...
We are going to put Klaire through an ABR test on Sept. 24th. They will have to put her under sedation. I don't know exactly how long the test will take but any amount of time is too much for a mommy in the waiting room.
They will be able to tell if she has a hearing loss and how much it is. If it's not a hearing loss, we'll go from there. If it is, we'll go from there too.
The doctor will tell us immediate results from the test. Pray for us in that moment. My emotions are a bit "off" these days. :)

Praying for y'all!
The waiting is the worst part of the ABR. The ABR can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours As a side note: the longer it is taking, the more likely it is that she has a hearing loss). When the ABR tracings are normal, they move on to each frequency fairly quickly. When they're abnormal (a hearing loss is detected), they take a while to get the exact level of hearing at that frequency. With Nolan, it took about 2 hours.
I will pray for you when you find out what the results are. You'll probably cry with either result, and that's OK. There is a saying by a mom of two kids with extra medical needs who said, "we might not find easy, but we found the good." Here's to you finding the good, even if it isn't easy!
