24 Days post op

Daisy has done so well since her operation.
She's healed nicely and her hair pretty much covers the scar anyway.
Only 4 more days to go until activation day, the big switch on! The day we have all been waiting for is right around the corner. It honestly feels like there is light finally at the end of the tunnel.
1pm on the 4th December our Daughter will hear for the first time in her life. This Is a very special moment for me and brad, as this is all we have wished for since we found out. I can't wait to record it all and just watch it back in many years to come and one day show Daisy. We have decided to take Amelia with us to the activation. We think it will be special for her to be there. She understands that Daisy has poorly ears and has done since day one. Amelia thinks Daisy had new ears when she had her operation, and also thought she could hear, which then we had to explain to her what happens next in little words so that a 2 year old can understand.


Were very excited about this day, I think a lot of yous are for us. I can't wait to see Daisy's development grow very fast once she can hear. Not sure if I'm ready to have 2 little people running around the place yet. its easy with one.

We have out teacher of the deaf coming out tomorrow to bring all of Daisy equipment. which actually I'm very excited to see it all and try it on daisy's head. It obviously wont be turned on, but its for her to get used to them on her head before they are. But will try and get pictures of them once there on so you get a look at what they look like on etc..


This was only a little update, but I'll keep you posted on activation day and look out for the video once it goes live.

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...
