I like going in to CHKD that early. We were there by 6am 🙂
Jesse is getting used to sedation. She played with the toys and walked around talking to the nurses until it was time for her to go to sleep. I put Scooby Doo on the ipod for her to watch. She fought going to sleep quietly… and was out in no time.
I had to laugh while we were waiting. Jesse was talking to me. One of the sedation nurses stuck her head in the door, quizzically looked at us, and asked she’s here for an audiogram? I explained that because of cisplatin, her doctor wants to keep a close eye on her ears.
The great news is that the study drug is working! The cisplatin didn’t damage her hearing this time! Yes! The Audiologist (is that a word?) was pleased with the test 🙂
I know that it sounds strange to sedate a person for a hearing test. I asked them how the test worked. They place earphones in her ears, and test how her brain waves measure in accordance to sound.
