I have to admit that as a parent, I am always anxious for results of any type of testing on Addison. Her school was having speech and hearing tests performed for the kids that signed up. There have been a few times where you think Addison's speech is normal for her age, or is it? For her hearing, when she is playing and I call her name and she ignores me sometimes, is this normal for kids?
Well we received the results and she passed on her speech. her T sounds like K sometimes but that is suppose to stabilize later. She is to be rechecked in 12 months to be sure. So no therapy or re screening of speech/language skills in the near future. I was so relieved as you always question that if I missed something as a parent and didn't see it and didn't get my child help. I always want to provide the best for Addison and if I didn't, I would just never forgive myself. My mom reassured me with saying if she does need therapy, we will get her the best therapist out there at whatever price. I just love my mom, she makes me feel better in situations where I worry and in the end there is really nothing to worry about.
For her hearing, she is just getting over an ear infection so her results were for a re-screen in 4 weeks. Hearing screening results were within normal limits. Tympanometry was not within normal limits for both ears. So they recommend that in four weeks to be sure the condition is resolved. I reached out to a friend who is a hearing doc (such technical terminology for me) and she said not to worry just yet as an ear infection can cause a result to be off. Just to contact my doctor in a few weeks to have it rechecked and go from there. She is hearing fine, we just need to worry about hearing loss.
