Daisy's second mapping

So its just before Christmas and we have our Second turn up "mapping".
Were all wired up to the computer and ready to do. In our minds hoping for some reaction this time.
She playing away with her toys while their turning her up bit by bit. Mark has this speaker which place different sounds and when I say there loud. there LOUD! They got to Level 3 and they thought she was reacting to the beeping sounds and she was nearly turning her head to the light up animals but she didn't quite get that where the sound was, was an animal. She will get it but even that is a massive improvement.
Because she was so calm and relaxed, before they sent us of home, they turned her up 4 levels! so like before 4 being low and 1 being high, when they put her on the highest on out the 4 levels, she started to blink to some sounds! We was over the moon about that.
And the fact that mark also noticed it to was even better. we was so chuffed!!
They did joke and said shell we just put her on full, as she just so calm about it all she's probably wouldn't be bothered but we cant risk that at all. we'd rather go slowly so she can adjust in her time.

When we left audiology we left on level 4, in the car we put her on level 3 and when we got back home we put her on level 2. she was completely fine, and then we tried her on level 1 and she started to get abit unsettled so we took her back down to 3.


2 day later she was on level 1 and loving it! She started to say mmmm and mamama. she even gives kissed now, blows raspberries and she never did this before. So this was all good signs! very good at the fact she's getting the mmmm.


So very excited to see what 2018 has in store in for us.

I've started making my own Cochlear headbands for Daisy. There so easy to make and its a lot cheaper than buying one online.
She will eventually have one in every colour!
The pink one she is wearing now is one I've recently made,


Next turn up is 15th January.
I would like to say a massive thank you for everyone support this year and I hope you all have a happy new year!

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...

Cochlear Implants

Image
A cochlear implant is a type of hearing aid that converts sound into electrical signals. Cochlear implants are for people who have no benefit from hearing aids. Instead of simply making sounds louder as a conventional hearing aid, the cochlear implant provides a sensation of hearing by bypassing the damaged hair cells in the cochlear and directly stimulating the auditory nerves using electrical signals. There are around 12,000 people in the UK who use cochlear implants. Cochlear implants are unable to restore normal levels of hearing and the degree of hearing provided can vary with different children. But the majority of children who have permanent serve to profound deafness are now able to access these and understand speech and language using only cochlear implants. How does the cochlear implant work is very common question I get asked. The microphone of the cochlear implant picks up the sound and the speech processor converts the sound waves into a digital code w...

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...
