Jacob Can Hear

If Jacob is ignoring us, he is either playing or just plain being stubborn. One thing we do know and have confirmed is that he can hear. Today we visited the hospital to get a few tests done. The first was actually hearing noises out of different speakers and then see if Jacob reacted or not. He reacted to all of them positively. The next was putting things in his ears, one at a time, which blew air to see if the ear drum was rigid or not. There was something behind his ears which was probably a little bit of fluid, but nothing to worry about. The last test was similar to the second, but took longer and made noises to see how the ear parts reacted. There was nothing found that would affect Jacob's hearing and all is well!!! We will be getting a report in the mail in the near future confirming the findings. Jacob did well and tolerated the task at hand.
