We have a busy few weeks ahead of us again. We have to go to Minneapolis tonight because he has an audiology test at the University tomorrow. I'm going to have to keep him up in the early morning so that he falls asleep during the testing. Not fun for either of us.
Then next week Friday we have to be at the University ped. clinic again to have an in-depth vision test, 4 hours long I'm told. I am quite eager to see how that turns out. He still cannot track with his eyes and they will often cross or roll up, but we see that when we are close to him, he does focus in on our faces. His last big testing for a while will be his MRI and EMG (testing the muscles in his face) under sedation, again at the University pediatric MRI center on May 26. I eager to hear the results of that also. It's his pediatric neurologist who has requested all these tests because with no facial movement, the nerves that control his facial muscles are close to the nerves for his hearing and vision. Still praying that this will all show that he has a bright future. He's definitely a "baby magnet", everywhere he goes he draws complete strangers in to 'talk' to him; medical staff and even the shoppers at the grocery store.
****Update****
Will had his hearing test and passed with flying colors!!! We are SO thankful that this is not another hurdle he will have to go over. Praise God!
