Tomorrow is our son’s sedated hearing test and I’m scared. Between 1-3 tomorrow we’ll be at the PICU and experiencing what will probably feel like the longest 2 hours of our life. I imagine it will feel even longer for our son. I hate the idea of leaving him in a room with strangers while he’s completely out of it. I’m sure he’ll be in good hands but it doesn’t make me feel better about all of this.

It should be an interesting day with him before the procedure since he won’t be allowed to eat after 5 am tomorrow morning. I’m going to feel like the meanest mom ever tomorrow denying my 3 year old son food. It’s hard to explain things like this and reason with a 3 year old who barely understands half of what you say. But I know this test is necessary in getting him the care he needs. I want him to be able to hear everything around him and to be able to communicate with us and his friends better. It’s just difficult going through these stressful tests to get to the good stuff. When it comes to all of this I’m still feeling so caught off guard.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow. We should have the results immediately following the test so we’ll know more  about what’s going on and what the next step for our son will be. I will update you all as soon as I’m able.
