Well the results are in on the hearing tests, Immie has severe hearing loss from the hands of chemo the drugs that have given her life. It actually answered our question that she was not just being a "selective" hearing four year old. Her high pitch hearing was dodgy last hearing test prior to stem cell, it has been stable from then though. Unknown to us, it was then and is now labelled as severe, the second level prior to totally deaf.
Immie's middle and low pitch have taken a bashing from stem cell too.
When we arrived, prior to the test the audiologist started talking about contacting Hearing Australia. This gave me the warning that we weren't here for just a routine check up.
I honestly was not too fazed about the fact she has to have hearing aids, speech and a few other things involving. I am just so glad she is here with us and able to live a full happy life whether it be with hearing aids or not. Actually we have both come to that conclusion, after the initial shock.
Now we wait to hear from Australia Hearing, and I am gathering Immie's aid for school with now be a given, until she and the hearing aids settle in.
Say a prayer or send a positive thoughts for our tough, beautiful "peter pan" girl, that this the only tiny bump that gets in her way, of becoming a normal, boring (lol) kid again.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I suspect 'boring' should be a word you drop out of your vocabulary.
