Zakary hears again!

January 25 2011

Zakary has been struggling with hearing loss again for some time now,His hearing test showed flat eardrums,no movement at all which means very little true hearing. Alot of muffled sounds and prob a very difficult time with back ground noise. The regular ENT doc had no OR time,for months and months and the wonderful DR who repaired his palatte so beautifully has left the Kaiser sysytem and moved to Floroda so he wasnt avail.
At the very last minture yesterday,some one had cancelled their OR for this am,we got the call to bring him in for a pre op,and surgery in the am...we did just that...
He did very well this am,he is resting now upstairs and though some scar tissue the doc had to cut through he did very well and hardely needed much anesthesia at all,which made the entire process eaiser of course. THey all commented on what a relaxed and laid back kid he was and that he didint even need the verced prior to the roll to the OR,he just went with the doc and off they went....
He will go back to school in the am and to TAE KWON DO for his stripe test tomorrow.

She will go home at the end of this school year and return to the US to start school there in the fall.
