He's back here at the hotel with me... very, very, very sleepy!
He does NOT have PSOM, but he has some hearing loss... some in the right ear and more in the left ear. He can't hear in the lower decibel ranges, which explains a lot! She had no explanation for what could be causing this hearing loss.
He has mild hydrocephalus on his brain, but no sign of syrinxes... so this is a good thing, I think. She said the results were too vague to say with certainty if he has SM or not, or even whether he has the occipital malformation. I think this is also a good thing? :xfngr: She feels that the hydrocephalus is mild enough not to be concerned about... I'm going to read up on it in any case so I understand what it means.
So, I have some answers but not all, which is better than nothing! As they were doing the study testing she felt that he had PSOM in either one or both ears, and was very surprised when his middle ears were completely clear! She said this is helpful to her research, so I'm glad about that.
OSU has a wonderful facility, and the people working there are very nice, competent, and efficient. I never had to wait even five minutes, and Dr Cole took her time and explained everything very thoroughly to me.
Now, back to hugging Bentley! :luv:
