One Year on...

A whole year?! how has that even happened...
We've just celebrated Daisy's 1st birthday and she had such a fab day! she was surround by all her family and friends and I don't actually think she stopped laughing and smiling all day. She was golden, just like her big sister.
Its crazy to think this time last year we had no clue what was just around the corner and what we was going to find out about our beautiful little girl.  But we've learnt about hearing loss, more than you can ever imagine. We've learnt about hearing aids and cochlear implants. The pros and cons about everything. We feel like we made the best choice for Daisy. Some people may think different, some think like we do. At the end of the day its not permanent decision, when Daisy gets older she can choose if to wear them or not. We've just been very lucky to be able to give her best start in life if she does keep up with the cochlear's.  
Talking about sound and Cochlear's Daisy's progress is come on leaps and bounds. SHES FINALLY CRAWLING!!! few days after her 1st birthday and we have her moving! she was so pleased and chuffed with herself. I was crying like most mums do. I've been an emotional wreck all over Daisy's birthday. Just thinking its going to be last time I have a 1 year old. the last time I will probably have a small baby that is mine. its quite sad. unless brad agrees to have another which I can never see happening.  I might aswell just start crying now. And when she started to crawl I just thought my baby is turning into a toddler how can this happen.
Since the last turn up at the start we thought oh god its to loud for her. But she's proved us wrong and is loving life. She's always happy, from waking up, to going to sleep. she is amazing! she takes every day as it comes and takes in new sounds like a champ.
New sounds at the moment is Daisy just blabbering to herself. we honestly cant shut her up. she finds it so funny when she can hear herself talk, she sometimes lets out a little laugh. She great! we love her so much and cant believe how well she is doing.

Considering she's only a 9 week old hearing baby. she's most defiantly ahead of herself.
So much to plan this year to raise as much money as I can both all 3 charity's.
More hospital appointments, and Mapping. all very exciting!

Oh and Daisy had an eye test in January, all was good. need to go back in 6 months when she's much older and they will notice something more at that age If something is going on. But at the moment eyes are perfect just like our little girl.
 


Sign language courses are going really well. Cant quite believe how much there is to learn but I'm loving it and cant wait to start signing to Daisy more.

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...
