Friday Kayla had a follow-up appointment with the Audiologist to monitor her hearing. So far, she has tested normal, but since the chemo can damage hearing, the doctor wants to see her every two months.
So, Friday, we went to the appointment. Kayla did great. The doctor told her that she is so good it is like testing an adult. We go into a high frequency sound booth and sit quietly for about a half hour and she wears headphones and signals every time she hears a little bird noise. I had Sadie with me and she was a little harder this time to keep quiet and entertained. She distracted Kayla a couple times by trying to grab the earphones. :) I had Kayla sitting on one leg and Sadie on the other, so it was kind of hard to keep them separate. I think I'm going to have to leave her with someone next time.
After all of the testing, the doctor told me that Kayla is testing great. There was only one pitch (a very high one) that she tested at a hearing loss level, but the audiologist assured me that it was very minor and all of the normal pitches range were normal. And then we set up another appointment and were on our way.
