Ear Pictures & Update

The top 3 pictures are were taken on 2/14/11.  The bottom three pictures were taken on 3/8/11.  Silas' ear is still healing.  It is a little swollen still and not as well defined as his first ear, but it takes time.  The BEST news of all is that Silas now has NORMAL HEARING in his left ear!!!  Praise God!  He had a hearing test last week and it showed normal hearing.  It makes all the surgeries worth it.  He will still wear his BAHA so he has good bilateral hearing, but he can actually hear us pretty well now even when it is not on.  We are so pleased with the results and are so thankful God gave us the resources to provide these surgeries for Silas.  Below is a before picture of me and my baby so you can see the huge change!

Yay!! So thrilled to hear the update on his hearing!! Great to see what to expect in the healing process, too. Am a little concerned about caring for the ear now that we are home..
