Prayer request for my 4 yr old daughter
me | 11/13/03

Posted on 11/13/2003 12:22:32 PM PST by truthandlife

I am asking a big favor from praying FREEPERS. I wanted you to start praying for my 4 year old daughter, Carly. We had an extensive hearing exam today and Carly has been diagnosed with sensor neural hearing loss. This results from damage to the delicate sensory hair cells of the inner ear or the nerves that supply blood to it. This hearing loss can range from mild to profound. She is in that mid range of hearing loss right now but could progress further. It can progress or stop progressing but it cannot be reversed. It is permanent (unless God miraculously heals her).

I am asking for prayers on a few issues: First, I ask for you to pray for her sensor neural hearing loss to stop. She can still hear reasonably well but she will have a dificult time distinguishing certain sounds without the help of a hearing aid. Second of all, I ask for you to pray for the wisdom of the doctors to find out the cause of her hearing loss. It could be a number of things. I would also like for you to pray for a miracle to happen (God willing) for a reversal of this hearing loss. The last thing is to pray for wisdom and peace for my wife and I. Especially pray for my wife who is pregnant and very emotional at this time.

Thanks for your prayers and we know that "And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28 )

Praying for Carly and the entire family. God WILL get you through this. Sorry I've just now replied, but I've been away from FR for a bit.

I wanted to give everyone an update. First of all, I want to thank everyone for praying for Carly and my family. Prayers have truly sustained us through this ordeal. We went to the ENT specialist again today to get Carly's hearing tested again and go over the lab results. All of her lab results came back normal except for an EKG. We have to get in touch with a child cardiologist to get more extensive tests. I am not really worried about this. Carly's hearing tested out the same as a few weeks ago. We think we have put a pinpoint that her hearing loss has only been going on for about a year. We have not gotten the genetic tests back yet.

We were talking about hearing aids today with the audiologist and that is when my wife really broke down. She is pregnant and very emotional at this time.

I am asking you to pray for a few issues. I would first like for you all to pray for my wife's pregnancy and her emotional state. The second thing I would like for you to pray for is wisdom. I would still like to get a second opinion from another ENT and audiologist. I would also like to find out the cause so that we can somehow prevent her hearing loss from getting worse. I also ask for you to pray for her hearing loss to stop and (God willing) to reverse. I also ask you to pray for our economic situation to pay for the hearing aids. I knew they cost a lot of money but I did not know they were $5,000. We are not poor but we don't have $5,000 laying around at this time to pay for the aids. (BY THE WAY I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO ASK WHERE THEY CAN SEND MONEY). We will be able to come up with an answer but it might take us a little bit of time.

Thanks for your prayers for they mean a lot. I will let you all know how the genetic tests come out as soon as we find out.

I'll be praying for you and your family.

My son's hearing aids were $4200 three years ago so I know exactly what you're going through. Like you we're not poor but it is still a lot of money for us. If you need to buy them check your home owners insurance. Many companies allow riders on the policy for hearing aids. Our rider cost $30 a year-well worth the money.

Good luck and God bless.
