CMV teddy bear picnic

Our teddy picnic was a huge success! Close family and friends turned up to help spread awareness and they generously donated money towards the CMV Action charity. So far we have raised £120 which is more than I could have hoped for. Some people have donated straight to the site also.


We started the day by eating our picnic as everyone started to arrive. While waiting for everyone to finish eating a few people started playing football games. Once everyone was ready we had a game of rounders which I think my team won. Then we played guess the sweets in the jar which Kerry won. And then we played a game of football to end a great afternoon!


We are trying to find other ways to raise money before the month is up for CMV, so my mum is hoping to do a bake off week at her work, where her work colleagues will pay a £1+ towards the cake they would like to eat. Mum also did this for national deaf awareness week and raised £150.

We are hoping to be able to schedule a fun day at one of our local pubs, hire a Bouncy castle, get a face painter, play bus and much more. To help raise awareness for CMV and also raise money for National children's deaf society.
Once we have a date set for the fun day I will make it public on my Facebook account and get everyone to share it, I will also try and post it on the CMV action page and also the national children's deaf society and along with the Staffordshire deaf society page too. So I hope you can all make it.

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

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...
