B failed two hearing tests in the NICU and a third one after he came home. They said he had permanent, moderate-severe hearing loss in both ears. We've spent the last couple of months trying to figure out how to teach him to speak and just generally preparing for raising a HoH child.
We went back today for a follow-up, and he has completely normal hearing. It was the fluid backing up into his ears from reflux that was causing the loss. I quit eating tomato sauce and now he can hear. 😂
The nurse said B is totally ready to try to eat and could try a bottle as early as tomorrow (unless the doctor wants to wait for the speech therapist to be there for the first one)
Light at the end of the tunnel.
It is the milk fortifier, but it's not something he can adjust to. Which is kind of what I thought in the first place because he started acting sick when they started adding that. They're putting him back on TPN for a couple of days and then adding a different formula to the milk instead.
But it is not NEC.
