I Can! I Can Stink at 9am! A January TR - 3/8 New TR Link!

Let's try to lighten the mood...

Seriously though, good luck with the appointment. Thoughts and prayers have been with you guys since you mentioned his concerns. I hope that you guys get some good news this afternoon!

Good news! MRI scan was clear of any sign of tumor, aneurism or stroke! So very happy for him that it was nothing major!

So now that it knocked those three things out, the doctor gave us two things this could be. A viral infection into the hearing fluid itself that really messed him up but there is no way to prove that with blood work or it could have been a blood clot but he really doesn't think it was that. The only thing that can be done for now is to wait it out and see what his ear decides to do over the course of the next few months. He is very positive his hearing will not return and the ringing he is hearing will remain. However, he is pretty certain that over the next 4-6 weeks the dizziness that he is feeling will go away due to compensation from the fluid in his right ear. The doctor is very concerned about his right ear though and making sure to keep it as healthy as possible and if there is any sign of hearing loss or vision loss to get in right away. And for now, the doctor is placing no restrictions on him so he can still coach (and he can still go to Vegas )

We are of course beyond thrilled with the results and are so thankful to those of you that prayed for us and thought about us during this time I feel like I/we can now get back to normal around here and in perfect time, since tomorrow is DH's last day of work before Spring break.

Thanks again everyone!

I'm glad to hear that it was nothing too serious! That's probably about the best news there could have been. I'm still sorry that it's kind of one of those things that they can't really do anything to help him, but at least it isn't anything life threatening!

So happy to hear that the MRI was clear! I hope the symptoms resolve and he can get back to normal - still sounds like a tough thing to deal with.

I am no expert on this at all, but did they mention anything about Meneire's Disease? I only ask because a co-worker's wife has it and the symptoms sound similar - vertigo episodes and diminished hearing in one ear. If it could possibly be this, the co-worker's wife has a food blog she started because she found that certain foods (and elimination of foods) improved her symptoms - let me know if you want me to find and PM her blog to you.

At any rate, so glad that it wasn't any of those three very scary things!

Good news????? I say that is great news, though I know the lingering effects will still take a toll.

Have an amazing time in Vegas. So jealous. One of my all time favorite places to visit. Unfortunately after having ,y daughter my twice a year trips are now like once every two years. So of course I supplement with Disney ; ) have a drink for me

So happy to hear good results! Have a great time in Vegas!

 

[KatMark]

I'm in Phoenix, but wanted to check in and so happy to hear the great news that it was none of those horrid things. Here's hoping for a great time in Vegas.

Well I'm glad it was good news that there is nothing conclusive wrong with him. I hope eventually you can figure it out and his hearing comes back! On the other side I hope that means you guys can make it to my birthday party. I will have whiskey and whatever else goes in a Manhattan, I just can't promise that I can get those ultra cool ice cubes in the room, but we will have a really cool cake!

Oh, Alicia, I'm SO happy to hear this!!! I hope that he feels better and better and that the two of you enjoy your Vegas trip! It's VERY well deserved!!!

Thrilled to hear that! Such a relief.

Really? I hope that's not the case. I'm glad there are no restrictions and we'll keep praying that he makes a full recovery.
