Day 1 post op

Daisy finally woke up at 6:15. A lot earlier than usual but what do you expect from a little girl who hates being out of her comfy zone.  She did very well considering to be honest.
Once again Daisy was setting all the alarms off, because she is now awake and trying to rip off the wires that are connected to the heart monitor. Thankfully the nurse came quickly and unhooked her.

It was about 7am and I’d packed all the bed away and the bedding. Dressed Daisy and fed her. Brad had just set off to come back over to the hospital and I was waiting for the nurse to tell me what the plan was next. 7:45 the nurse told me that we need an X-ray on Daisy to make sure that the cochlear's are in place. Breakfast arrived on the ward, didn't really fancy anything but I had a slice of toast, which Daisy decided to take off me and eat herself. So I had to go back and get some more.
Brad finally arrived after he got lost, and I was so happy to see him. We've only spent 2 nights apart since getting together.
At 10:45 we went down to X-ray and everything was in place and looks great! Such a relief! After we got the all clear from the ENT doctor we was allowed home. You should of seen how fast I packed everything, I couldn’t wait to get out. Daisy’s bandage was allowed to come off, so we choose to keep it on in the car and take it off when we got home. Within 30 minutes of taking it off Daisy for a nose bleed, we found out that this is normal. ( stress over ) it has now stopped and hopefully won’t start again anytime soon.


Daisy is most definitely more active than yesterday. She was even trying to crawl earlier that’s how much she’s changed now in 24 hours. The one thing that will start to change in 24 hours is daisy sticky, blood covered hair that we can’t wash for 4/5 days.
I know it’s not a long wait but still... 

Daisy’s scar isn’t to bad to be honest. I don't know what I was expecting but they've done a really good job. No one would  even notice she’s even had anything done front ways And the scar is small too so hardly noticeable and will slowly fade throughout the months/years.

Daisy is now currently fast asleep in her cot. She loved being back at home now. She’s really starting to adjust to her new surroundings now  which
is excellent! 



Would like to say a massive thank you to all the well wishes and lovely comments. Means so much to us that you had Daisy in your thoughts and she’s out the operation in one piece and nearly there at the last few times of her hearing journey.

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...
