Zeke walking and hearing test results

Zeke is so close to walking. About 2 weeks ago we were all sitting in our ASL class and Zeke was standing against my legs and he just starting walking. He took about 4 or 5 steps. We had him stand by me again and he took another 4 or 5 steps. I know he would be able to walk if he tried hard enough but I think he loves to crawl because he can go really fast. He is so cute when he is about to fall because he is so cautious. The most steps he has taken is about 10. I can't believe how fast he has grown up.

Yesterday Zeke had a hearing test. He had to be sleep deprived and couldn't eat past midnight the night before. We went up to Primary Children's for the test because they had to do a conscious sedation. Poor little guy had to fast for like 12 hours. He was so hungry and tired. Since he was sleep deprived so well they were able to do every single hearing test possible. They did an ABR which is an Auditory Brain Response or something like that and an ASSR which both tests they have electrodes attached to his head to read his brain response to the noise they put in his ear. When he was about 3 months old they did an ABR and his brain was responding at 80 db, but yesterday he only responded to 120 db in only his right ear. He use to be Severe to Profound hearing loss but now he is completely Profound in both ears. I am pretty sad that he got worse, but now we know that our insurance will actually pay for 1 cochlear implant because he is Profound in both ears.
