The amazing journey of a brave, fun-loving, creative boy who is enduring and has overcome so much already: failure to thrive, feeding tube dependency, food allergies, silent reflux, pulmonary valvar stenosis, chiari malformation, syringomyelia, retroflexed odontoid, mild bilateral hearing loss, a blood coagulation disorder, and Noonan Syndrome.

Hearing loss
Auggie is getting hearing aids! Our new audiologist, contrary to his old one, believes that he could benefit from wearing a hearing aid. He has bilateral sensorineural hearing loss at 800-2,000 mhz. We hope our late discovery hasn't affected his speech - we'll be seeing a speech pathologist affiliated with the clinic in a few months - Yes, we have to wait that long!! He has had speech therapy for 3 years but no one ever thought his hearing was compromised. It's always good news, bad news on this roller coaster ride.
