Juliette passed her hearing test on Monday. For those of you who did not know, Juliette failed her newborn hearing screening in the right ear. This is a test that all newborns in Alabama are administered. The Doctor told me that she probably failed due to fluid in her ear so not to be concerned. I tried real hard not to worry about it but what are mothers for if not worrying. During this past three months I have been observing her hearing abilities and had already figured out she could hear. So when we went to take the test on Monday the started by checking the ear for fluid and guess what, she had fluid on her right ear, AAAAWWWWW! So the audiologist recommend us not taking the test but Jonathan started asking questions and almost assisted they do the test. I was upset for the fact that i would have to worry a little more about not knowing. So after Jonathan persistence the audiologist hooked Juliette up to the machine and SHE PASSED. The lady said we got lucky, hahahaha, i considered it blessed. She recommend we go to the dr about the fluid. So we went that afternoon to the DR and low and behold she had an ear infection. We didn't even know it. She had a low grade temp 99.8 and the fluid was yellow (start of the infection). So the Dr gives us meds and i think she is feeling better. I guess she is going to inherit my ear problems, POOR BABY.
I also started back to work on Monday. It has been really hard. But i know we as a family have just got to establish a new normal. For some reason i am having a harder time with leaving Juliette. Thank you to all the people who have checked on me, your kind words and prayers are helping.
