Picture is of Gavin first bump to the head needing stitches(running into the table corner). He loss hearing on that one! Audiogram proved it! 10db to 20db different then one month ago. Minor head trauma or Major head trauma. Is not good for LVA kids. Because hearing is immediately affected because when head trauma happens fluid is released from the enlarged vestibular aqueducts and damages the hair cells right on contact. The fluid is a high content of proteins. So it is pretty toxic stuff to my understanding. That is the best way I can explain it.
OK so below Gavin's mouth is food. But the tiny circle on Gavin's right cheek(u can barely see it in the pic) was the metal ramp he fell on today. His knees got it alot worst than his face. Thank goodness his face didn't end up like his knees. The little scab on his nose is from the metal truck he fell on. The scab on his left eyebrow is the stitches scar. The body heals so fast! It is amazing!
This knee not so bad from the metal ramp.
This knee OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From the metal ramp!
Many of you know. That Gavin has LVA, EVA, LVAS. All those acronyms mean the same disorder. Just different ways to say it. Larged Vestibular Aqueducts,Enlarged Vestibular Aqueducts, Larged Vestibular Aqueducts Syndrome. I didn't realize one thing with this disorder and that is balance . Your Ears apparently, play a huge part in one's balance. I was always worried about his levels of hearing. Friday the 15Th(Of May) Gavin ran into the corner of a table hit his eyebrow and needed 3 stitches. Then Monday a few days later in fell down hit his metal toy truck on the nose got a bruise and a little cut. Then Wednesday he fell down 5 steps coming down our stairs. Then yesterday he was dizzy after getting off the couch or and getting out of the car he was stumbling as he walked. It was like he was dizzy all day. Then today yep you guess it, he fell down on a metal ramp and cut up one of his knees pretty good. All the marks on his face our from the different accidents he has been having. I hope this goes away soon. The kid is getting beat up pretty good. He is 2, so of course he runs at full speed, climbs high, jumps off things. He gets into things he knows he shouldn't. He has a Dr appt in a few days with the ENT(ears,nose and throat doc). I hope he can help Gavin out somehow or at these tell me if something is wrong so we can fix this balance issue. I hope the dr doesn't say just ride this out it will go away! Cause after a week and a half of this. Gavin and I are ready for this to be over! I'll keep you all posted!
