Daisy's Journey

Today we went for a hearing test at Nottingham. Also today we got sent away and didn't end up having the hearing test... Last night I couldn't sleep one bit. I was so nervous for Daisy to have this hearing test as she was being sedated. I know a lot of people get sedated, but with her being so young I was worrying. Anyway... I gave her, her last bottle at 4:30 as she had to have finished her milk at 5 and wasn't allowed another bottle until after she came back around after the sedation.

I hardly slept anyway as I think it must of been 2:45 when I finally went to sleep and getting up at 4am to change Daisy's nappy and feed her, I think it was about 5:15 by the time I went back off to sleep. We got to Nottingham at 8:15 and by this time Daisy was awake and it had been 4 hours since her last bottle. she was full of smiles for the nurse's...

At the moment they have only tested to 90hz ( I think that is right ) so on this test they will be doing on the 25th will be testing much higher. Daisy will need to be sedated for this test. Hoping for a really good news, that she passes the level of hearing etc. for what she needs for cochlear implants. When we first started this journey, they warned up it was long process, they are right. Everyday we are constantly checking the post, phones for any emails or missed calls. It is literally horrible! They also warned us that we would have so many hospital appointments, there about that too. I cant even count how many times we have been to a hospital and in fact how many different hospitals we have been too. We don't mind at all, not if i...
