It takes a Village to Raise a Baby!!!!

I realized the other day that it takes a village to raise a child with microtia.Josh is doing so well developementally.But we are now beginning to build his team of specialists to help us on this journey.To date we have seen a nurse practitioner in October 2010 at Seattle Childrens she was less than helpful.Our visit at the end of last month to Portland and OHSU yielded more info but I feel like I learned more after I returned home as of late from talking to our wonderful audiologist Roxanne.She is thru Early Intervention and I am truly blessed to have found her.Josh will be going on the 30th to be having a hearing test because she wants to start conducting regular hearing tests with him after he gets these infections in his microtic ear.She is also going to give me the name of an Ent in Tri-Cities which is about an hour from here.This particular doctor has experience with the BAHA and I am starting to wonder if I should see if he can do Josh's ear tube so we can establish Josh as a patient of his.As I realize it takes a village to raise a baby.One blessed baby who will bless more in his life.
