Falling on deaf ears??


The other day, as I was playing with my two month old nephew Riddick, I noticed that he wasn't responding to sound like he should be doing at his age. I clapped my hands next to his ears...got nothing. I spoke close to his ears, again nothing. I called my mom into the room and showed her, he still didn't respond. So then i did the finger trick to see if he could follow my finger, again..he didn't. Finally, we told Taylor. Riddick had a doctors appointment yesterday anyway for his two month shots, so ask Dr. Blanchard and see what she thinks.


Low and behold, she made Riddick an appointment with a specialist on September 8th. That is the first day he can get in. We keep trying different things, but still no response. We are hoping that he is not deaf and that hopefully maybe his eu-something tubes are just clogged up?? Sorry, I can't remember the word my mom said. ha ha! Anyway, as soon as we find out more, I will update again.

Oh, i also made a bet that at that checkup he would weigh in at 12 pounds. Taylor said he weighed in at 12 lbs. 6 oz. 24 inches long!
