Update on Davis's Hearing

It's been awhile since I've posted about our concerns with Davis' hearing loss, so I thought I'd post an update. Since I last posted, Davis has chosen a hearing aid (it's shiny silver and little) and he is "willing" to try it out. But we need to get a doctor's medical release for him to wear it. At that appointment, the ENT suggested we consult a surgeon in Spokane because he thinks his hearing may be fixed with surgery. So this Tuesday, Davis and I will be taking a road trip to Spokane and meeting with the surgeon. I'm hoping and praying he'll be able to answer some questions for me and help us know what to do.

Hopefully you'll get some encouraging news from the surgeon. I'll be thinking about you. It's kinda stupid that hearing aids are "only" cosmetic according to insurance, but you have to get a medical release to wear them? I thought they were "just" cosmetic? Crazy insurance.

Heather, we plan on getting to Spokane between 11:30 and noon and having lunch before his doctor's appointment (it's at 1:15).
