Today we found out some unsettling news. For some time now we've been concerned about Mackenzie's speech delay. Part of the process to get speech therapy is to rule out any hearing problems. Well today she had her hearing exam. They did a test on her (while she was sleeping), and the audiologist thinks she may have some hearing loss to high frequency sounds. We have to get further testing done to confirm these findings. We're hoping that maybe somehow there was a fluke with the machine, but for now the doctor told us not to worry about it. If she does have any hearing loss, then she may have to get hearing aids. The good news is that now we know why she has had delays with her speech, and we can focus our attention on this and get her the help she needs to progress. There are many good programs out there to help children with hearing loss, so we have to count our blessings. Please keep her in your prayers. I will keep everyone updated as soon as we find out more about her condition. God bless!
