Hey guys! Just got the mri and CT results from celinas doctor. She's missing her semi circular canals completely. This means she has no balance or orientation and probably won't walk for quite a few years. On her left side her facial nerve is small and messed up that's why she twitches that side of her face so often, it's very weak but not at "facial palsy" yet. Also on her left side they couldn't see an auditory nerve so the cochlear Is out for the left side. Her right side there was a nerve so they're going to give implanting that side a try. Her mastoids are also underdeveloped so it will make implanting more difficult, but she thinks she can do it so we're giving it a shot! She said the surgery will take longer than normal due to complexities.
I'm not horribly educated on all of this and what it all means but will see Dr. M on the 8th and will give more details then.
