Heartfelt thanks to everyone who sent good wishes.

We survived the evaluation. Some aspects of OH's hearing are "too good," and therefore he doesn't meet the FDA specifications for an implant. But the audiologist thinks he will be helped by an implant and is willing to implant him "off label," which they are allowed to do. The question is whether insurance will pay for it under those conditions.

Selkie has some kind of inflammation in her digestive tract; they don't know what is causing it, but they seem reasonably confident it will go away over the next week or two. In the meantime she gets a bland diet and pills.

congratulations!

i know neither situation was the best outcome you'd hoped for, but both are hopeful. i know y'all are tired after 8 hours at the hospital with all this tension. hang in there...
