Update on Benjamin





Benjamin is doing very well right now and still is doing new things every day/week. He is still uber paranoid about his ears. Recently he had his sedated hearing test which to our surprise showed a mild to moderate mixed hearing loss in the right ear. It is a permanent loss, so much to Benjamin's dismay he was fitted with a hearing aid. We will get the hearing aid in a couple weeks so we will keep you updated. Friday we saw a neurologist with little result, Dr. Khan did not really seem to think neurology was the way to go so he referred us on to a Neuropsycologist. The titles keep getting bigger.
Benjamin will be going to Kindergarden next fall. He will continue in a special education program and from what we have heard, he will have a wonderful teacher. Benjamin's teacher for next year has been observing him at his preschool, and in a couple weeks he will do his kindergarden screening. More of a formality than anything. We continue to learn new things everyday with Benjamin. This summer we are contemplating starting the diet approach (gluten free/casein free). That seems like a lot of work and I have to do a lot of learning prior to starting this. We will keep everyone updated!!!!
