On Thursday, Kayla had another appointment with the audiologist to monitor her hearing. About 5 minutes before we were going to leave, Bryson offered to take her, so I actually didn't go to the appointment. I told Bryson that he'd better do the blog post then. :)
Well, what he told me about the appointment was that the doctor that Kayla has been seeing is leaving to work somewhere else. Bummer! I really like her. Oh, well. The other report was that there was one pitch that Kayla showed a significant decrease in hearing. It is one of the very high pitches, and it is on the very edge of being considered "significant" so it should not really effect Kayla's everyday hearing needs. Still, we will go back in another two months for a follow up and from then on we will go in every 6 months for awhile and maybe every year after that, I'm not totally sure. Some damage to hearing caused by chemo can be delayed , so that is why Kayla will still need to do follow up visits after she is done with chemo.
