HE CAN HEAR!!!

Landon can hear!  100%!!!  Out of BOTH ears!  Praise the Lord!  So, even after failing what is called the "screening test" for hearing a total of 6 times, Landon passed all of the specific hearing tests today at Egleston.  The audiologist said that she really can't explain the fluke with the screening tests, but that he was "textbook perfect" today.  She even did an extra test just to make sure that the results were accurate...and they were!  We are so thankful, and beyond pleasantly surprised!  Our little fella can hear!!!

Okay, so what good mommy doesn't take a camera along to capture every moment?!  (Actually, I forgot my camera, but we stopped by and picked up Scott's sister's camera on our way.)  Here are the pictures to document Landon's big day.  Scott still doesn't understand why I took a camera along, but I say that Landon will appreciate the pictures when he is older.  And OF COURSE his mommy will. :)

Here we are walking into Egleston.

Here is the "Butterfly Elevator" that we had to take to the MRI center.  (Egleston is very kid-friendly...hence the named elevators, art work, etc.)

Walking into the MRI center.

In his pj's.  Egleston is one chilly place!

Flirting with the audiologist.  Her name is Julia and she is very sweet.  She called Landon "Little Bit" today and it made him smile!

Getting "prepped" for the procedure.  Now...none of this hurt him, but
it wasn't pleasant to be poked, prodded, exfoliated, force-fed yucky
medicine, and so forth.  He really was quite the trooper, but since he
hadn't eaten in almost 10 hours, I think a few tears were warranted. 
Once they were finished "prepping" him, he was much more content.  (FYI: they monitored his blood pressure on his calf and his pulse on his left big toe!)

Drifting off to sleepy town...yawn.

No, it's not an alien...it's Landon!!!  He had probes all over him.  He even had some on his belly and back, but no pictures of those b/c he was so warm and snuggly wrapped up in the warm blankets.  Our nurse couldn't get enough of Landon.  She held him through his entire procedure.  So nice to know my little fella was in such good hands!

Thank you all for your prayers, calls, and emails.  Landon is doing very well.  He is still super sleepy, but other than than he's doing well.  He was in a great mood when he was awake (for all of about 15 minutes) earlier, so I know that once the medicine is out of his system things will be back to normal.  Actually, I'm crossing my fingers that since he's learning to sleep so well maybe that will transfer over to night time!!!  Hey, you can't blame a mommy for wishful thinking!

We are having a bit of an issue with his GERD.  We found out today that he has lost 9 ounces in the last two weeks (here we go again???).  But, we are trying not to worry about that today.  Today, we are just relishing in the awesomeness of God because LANDON CAN HEAR!!!
