Today Maddie had another hearing test. This time she had to be sedated because she wouldn't sleep through it last time and she pulled all of her wires off. Amy asked me to go with her so she wouldn't be alone. How could uncle Justin pass up the opportunity to spend time with his niece and nephew?
The procedure was done at St. Luke's Hospital in downtown Boise because of the sedation. We got there ~10am and we had to go to the Pediatrics Intensive Care Unit. They had the room ready for her when we got there, but the Dr. wasn't ready yet. We walked around for a few minutes before they gave Maddie this little bear.
They gave her an oral sedative and Amy laid down on the bed with her to help her fall asleep. By ~11 she was out and they were able to start hooking her up.
It was weird to see them move her around without her waking up. Here she is with all of her wires on.
The procedure took until ~12:30. They discovered that she has mild hearing loss in her right ear, and they fitted her for a hearing aid while she was out.
Braden and I had a hard time being quiet. We walked around the PICU for a few minutes, but we didn't have the patience to stay in there. We went out and walked the fourth floor for about 45 mins. Here is Braden are after our walk, just hanging out, playing with a toy.
We got to the car about 12:45pm and were glad to be out of there. Maddie did excellent!! She even ate some chicken nuggets and fries on the way home!!
