Happy Valentine's Day! Kayla's hearing test got scheduled for the special day. ;) Luckily, there was a place in Nampa that we could go to, so we didn't have to drive all the way into Boise again. The night before, at about 9:15PM I had the thought that I probably shouldn't take Benson with us. He is a pretty good little boy, but he is at that stage where he is constantly talking. Where this was going to be a hearing test, I was thinking that it would be hard to keep him quiet. So, I called a good friend who said she could watch him the next morning. Thanks!!!
It was a good think that we did not bring Benson! Kayla did fantastic for the hearing test. I was thinking that it would be a quick one where you just put on the headphones and raise your hand when you hear the beep and that would be it. But, we met with an Audiologist and she did a very in-depth test. We were there for an hour. By the end, Kayla was getting tired, so the doctor scheduled her to come back one more time, just so she could do a little more testing. Kayla did fabulous and tested great, but on some of the really high tones, she was not doing as well. So, we are going back in a couple weeks to retest some of those high pitches. The really high sounds are the ones that are affected by the chemo first. Had Kayla been just a normal kid, her results would be perfectly well. But, since she is doing chemotherapy, the doctor wants to be sure and double check some of those upper ranges.
The doctor was super nice and was great with Sadie while I sat in the sound booth with Kayla for a while. Once she got fussy, I held her and Kayla, and and did my best to keep Sadie quiet while Kayla did her testing. It worked. :)
