Further tests...

15th March 2017
Due to daisy having CMV,  we had to go get her eyes tested to make sure nothing was wrong..

The worry that there could possibly be some sort of sight loss was horrible!
When we got to Stoke hospital we was greeted by a lovely women who put some drops into Daisy's eyes to make her pupils enlarged, this allows the doctor to look properly into her eyes.  Daisy broke her little heart while putting these drops in! Worst thing in the world is seeing your children cry.  But once they had finished putting drops in she soon went back off to sleep.  We then had to wait 20 minutes before we could see the eye doctor, to ensure the drops did their job.  More waiting...

Dr Jospeh, explained what she was about to do and what she was looking for. The results to the eye test was fantastic news!! Daisy's eye sight was healthy for a 6 week baby. I was completely over the moon. We have to go back in 3 months for another check up, but this is standard anyway with deaf children, to have there other senses checked.

I had a phone call today of Ivan who is head audiologist, he informed me that Daisy's hearing aids are ready to be picked up/ fitted! Which I'm completely over the moon with how fast everything is going, and how brilliant all the doctors have been with us, for putting her on the urgent list.

I'm hoping there will be some kind of response once the hearing aids are in. Even if it's just a slight sound. The fact that she's never heard my voice, kills me inside!  Amelia is always singing to Daisy, which is so sweet!

I also had a phone call from the teacher of the deaf today who has booked  to come an visit us on Wednesday morning, to answer any questions we may have about anything. Which is ALOT!  And also any questions about the hearing aids that would have been fitted.

We have an ENT meeting on Monday with a few consultants, who will be giving us loads of information on what is happenings next etc..

Wish us luck for tomorrow!!

More complications...

Just as we thought we had sorted Daisy's hearing out, a few weeks later Daisy experienced the same problem again with the left ear. She could not tolerate the sound again! We thought it was very weird as she was on much lower sound and she was fine. As I was at work when brad told me what had happened, I made a few phone calls. My mum was able to ring the doctors and get her an appointment with them at 11am while I was ringing up Rope walk house to get there advise on it again. But with us currently being in a pandemic and lockdown! We couldn't get to Nottingham. As I was explaining it all to Kim, that it was exactly the same thing again. she told me to ring her back after she had been to her doctors appointment. So I waited.. worried sick while being at work, couldn't leave but to be honest I knew there wasn't much I could do as I cant go no where and she was in the best hands with my Dad. Attended the doctors appointment, They said there was still abit of wax in there...

Problems with the cochlear

Image
Sat at home in tears... Daisy has woken up not being able to tolerate her left cochlear, she screaming out in pain and saying its hurting! As you can imagine worst feeling for us as parents as we've never been told this would or could happen.  First thing I did was ring the doctors so they could check in her ear to see if there  was possible ear infection. Once booked the appointment I message Donna and Victoria and straight on the phone to Nottingham Rope Walk House. Where they advised that I should go to her doctors appointment check behind the hear and get the doctor to ring queens while we was there and see what they advise us to do next. Sat in the doctors worried what was going to happen. Will she need it taking out? What sound is she hearing? like what the hell is going on!!! Deep breathe Emily... Doctor checked both ears and they said there was a lot of wax but didn't suspect an ear infection. Rang Nottingham and they advised us to go...

Nursery

Sooo.. Its been a while since ive been on here!! As you can imagine with now having a 3 year old Daisy and a 5 year Amelia-Lily, and a full time job. I had no time to be able to write. There has been a few times where I wanted to write down my thoughts but after 2 years i've finally picked up my laptop and thought id give you all an insight on how the last 2 years have been us. So I think I left off last time with Daisy starting school in the February? Well.. First day at school was emotional for us all, our last baby going off to school is hard enough but Daisy being special was an even more worry. The thoughts of how will she settle in? Will the kids rip off her cochlears? Will they ignore her and leave her out? the thoughts were endless... Dropped her off holding back the tears and Daisy was super excited as she had her own little uniform that matched her sisters and massive back pack full of all the thing i thought shed need in the 3 hours she was there! We left her crying but...
