Brody's last appointment (8.22.13) went very well. Brody's first appointment was with Dr Kerschner for a checkup and cleaning. He was one lucky little guy who had clean ear canals...therefore he did not need to get on the table and get them cleaned!! yippee for all involved as this is not a very pleasant experience for anyone, especially our little man. We then went to Dave & Busters for lunch and a few arcade games since we had some time to kill before our next appointment with the audiologist. Brody was very happy that Grandma Borzick came along for the ride. We all enjoyed playing a few games and had a lot of fun. Our next appointment was the hearing test. The test went well and he is doing very well. The results are about the same as the previous test after his left canal opening. The audiologist would like for Brody to wear his BAHA's still. Brody is not hearing all of the pitches he needs to and with some words he is not hearing the beginnings and endings of words. She said the reason he doesn't like wearing his BAHAs is because they are too loud now. So we sent them in to have them adjusted so it is a happy medium with his new canals and still with his hearing loss.
The appointments both went well. Brody did a great job.
Sorry this update took about a week and a half.. I've been trying to get everything organized and planned for our upcoming 3.5 week trip for body's big boy ear. Oh did I mention we will leave in one week? I'm very excited for this but also very nervous! 8-10 hour surgery. We are very blessed to have made it this far in our journey. Brody is excited to have a 'big boy' ear. Along with planning for our trip we are also making all the plans for Brody's Harvest for Hearing which is October 12 & 13. Busy. Busy. :)
We are looking for help with hanging up flyers around the area... I should have them by the end of this week if anyone would like to help hang flyers... please let me know and I will get some to you!! This will be a great help, with us being going pretty much the whole month of September. Thanks!

Check-up. Hearing test. Benefit....
Hello all!
Last Wednesday 7.31.13 Brody had a checkup for his right canal and a cleaning on his left canal. Brody was lucky enough to have his cousin Haiden come with for the ride. It is getting harder and harder for us to get Brody to go to these appointments with ease.... Therefore haiden was a great distraction for Brody. Once we got there, the appointment went very well with a good cleaning getting all the debris out and a large scab with had come off earlier in the week. He said the skin graft in the new canal was healing very well. He then made a new mold for his right canal. And checked Brody's left canal and said it was very clean with only a little bit do debris right on canal and decided to leave alone since he has such good hearing in that ear. We then scheduled Brody hearing test for his left canal, 4 months post-operation the California drs want to see the hearing test results. Brody's next checkup and hearing test will be August 22nd. Two appointments, hearing test in the morning and dr. Kerschner in the afternoon. I'm excited to see what his hearing results are after these 4 months. And see if Brody actually needs to wear his headband. He hasn't really worn it since his last surgery. I like to think this is a great sign as he can hear with out his baha's!
Working hard on trying to get things all lined up for Brody's harvest for hearing, especially since we will be gone the better part of September (3.5 weeks) . Trying to get donations for the silent auction and basket raffle. If anyone would be willing to help get some donations for these, that would be wonderful. I have a letter typed up explaining Brody's story and asking for donations. If you would like me to email you a copy,please email me at ashleyhenke16@gmail.com
We excited to have a kids corn maze this year at the benefit. And the ever favorite barrel train ( new tractor train in the works) . The pumpkin patch is looking awesome! Are excited for some new additions to the. Benefit. Save the date: October 12 & 13!
