One year on

I cant quite believe its been a year since I started this blog. A whole year since we started this journey. Its crazy it really is.
From finding out our baby was profoundly deaf, the many trips to hospital's for tests and getting new ear moulds for hearing aids that didn't work, to Daisy now being 16 months old and hearing the world for 4 month, and doing so bloody well.

We are so pleased with how well she has took to her cochlear's. I know some people don't agree with Cochlear's but we've given our daughter the best of both worlds, she has the choice to hear, be able to speak spoken English language. She is already doing the babbling such as, mama, baba, dada, rara and mmmm. Our teacher of the deaf donna cant believe how much she has changed since her last mapping, she's being marked as a 6 month old hearing baby instead of a 4 month. she's looking more and more grown up everyday and she loves hearing new sounds. specially music. watching our daughter dance to music is just beautiful. we never thought we'd ever see the day Daisy is turning her head to music, or any sound. everyday she does something new and I just well up every time because I'm just so proud of her.
She's so desperate to walk now. she will go onto her feet with her hands still on the ground and walk like that sometimes. she hates the walker but uses it sometimes. The day she walks will be the best day of her life but the worst for me haha! I cant imagine having 2 little ones running around the place at the moment. She learnt how to climb stairs and that's a battle to keep her off them!

We go on our family holiday this month and I cant wait to see how daisy reacts to all the new sounds she's going to hear. Its going to be amazing! and then in June Daisy has her 5th Mapping which I am really excited about!

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...
