Renny had a follow up hearing test today since she failed her newborn screen in one ear.  The verdict is that there is some sort of nerve delay but they don’t think it will be anything that has any developmental impact.  The doctors said that lots of people have this ‘delay’ and neither they or anyone else even notices it.  So we’ll see.  Or hear.  Something like that.  A follow up will occur in 6 months or so.

On the Neurosurgeon front, at this point, we’ve decided not to make a decision, with the exception that we’re going to continue to see Dr. F for general purposes here and only reconsider the matter if a shunt revision (the fancy word for redoing the shunt, ie, more cranial surgery) is necessary.

We’re on the look out for Chiari Two Formation symptoms which tend to be associated with Spina Bifida and manifest early on.  We already know from the MRI that Renny has this formation, so now again, it’s wait and see.
