Next steps

Logan's hearing is worse in his right ear, but his left ears seems to be getting worse as well. Since he has profound hearing loss in his right ear, we have already been discussing the possibility of a cochlear implant (at least for that ear) with his ENT. 

The first step is to see if he is even a good candidate for an implant.  So we had to schedule a sedated MRI so his Dr. can see what his cochlea and nerves look like.  We had this scheduled for the end of February, but of course, Logan got sick the week before we were going to have it done and we had to reschedule.  Unfortunately, that meant we had to wait another month to get it done.

We finally had his MRI done this past Wednesday.  It was so hard seeing them put an IV on my little guy, but I know that is nothing to what it will be if he gets his surgery done!  Everything went smoothly and we were home within an hour after the test was completed.  Now we have to wait for our ENT appointment to get the results.  I swear it feels like we are always waiting.  We just want to know what direction we are going!
