>>I urge ALL parents of preemies to insist on a  brain stem hearing test,
even 
if you think your children hear.  If I had done that 2 years ago, Taylor 
probably would not have many of the delays that he has now!!!!!!<<

This is very good advice.  So many people have said to us "Be thankful you
have found out about Zachary's hearing loss while he is so young".  Too often
hearing loss is not diagnosed until the child is struggling in school.

Zach is having tubes put in on Thurs.  We are crossing our fingers it will
help improve his hearing. 

Best wishes!
