Can ya hear me now?

We had the ABR (auditory brainstem response) test today and Harper didn't pass. She is SOOO close to passing, but she's just not there.
She cooperated wonderfully at the test...just like a little angel! We went in, she went to sleep right away in my arms and then she got all hooked up to the machines so they could start the test.
She slept great for 40 minutes while they monitored her hearing and brain response. The right ear hears great.....and the left side is just not cooperating. The audiologist referred us to an ear, nose, throat Dr to go a step further in trying to figure out why that left ear isn't passing. I guess the equiptment they can use to look deep into the ear canal is quite high tech- so they are hoping to discover what is keeping her from passing.
I called and actually got in for an appt tomorrow at 10:30. So, we hope to know more tomorrow!
Thanks for your thoughts, prayers and good luck wishes! We're so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family.
Here's a picture of Miss Cheeks at her appointment today!

And here is a picture of Mr Hudson because he's been left out of the last two posts. This guy is FULL of love lately....chattering, laughing, smiling and coo'ing away! Such fun!
