Noah has already had a busy year on his journey to healing! We found out in January that the pin-size hole in his left ear drum was closed! It was a long wait, but well worth it! I am thankful that his ear is healthy and hearing well! It was a day I will always remember!
He also got a great report on his eye exam last Friday! He had the surgery to correct the lazy eye when he was 3 and his eyes were starting to drift out a bit last year. We decided to take him back to our local guy, instead of the pro-surgery Vanderbilt guy because, well, that surgery was the toughest! So I felt God leading us back there, and about 8 months later, Noah's eyes are looking great! He only has to wear his glasses for reading, computer, school work, and TV time!
The next step is to get his right ear functioning better. Noah's hearing tests have always been a confusing thing. We know he has the ability to transmit sound waves to the brain, but something in the middle ear has prevented all sounds from getting to the inner ear, so he has a big hearing loss in that ear. He went to see a new ENT who does surgery to correct structural ear issues. He discovered that Noah's right ear drum was very retracted and needs to be fixed as soon as possible. So we scheduled a cat scan for next month and will go from there.
I am so very thankful for the progress and so very thankful for the procedures to help Noah hear better!
God works in many ways, and I trust that in each step, Noah is being carried in His hands. I'm thankful that through this journey, I have learned so much about what it means to really trust God. And that MIRACLES come in many forms. Sometimes it takes a season(or two) to learn that, but in the end God is always GOOD! He's always on our side!
