STILL PREGNANT....
Thanks for checking in, everyone, but yes, Baby Sis is still snug as a bug.

Joli had her hearing test today at Mass Eye and Ear. She did experience some hearing loss in her right ear in the highest frequency range. The doctors told us to expect slight hearing loss due to the carboplatin, so we weren't surprised. The good news is that, once she's off carboplatin (which, her last dose was in February) there isn't any residual once it's done. She'll pass any school hearing test, etc., and the MEEI really is a refined, highly detailed test. The actual make-up of Joli's ears are fine (they took pictures of her inner ear!), so the hearing loss is due to the chemo rather than to anything structural.

She did so well during the test, and I'm constantly amazed at how much she's grown and matured over the past 9 months. When I took her for her baseline in September, she was kind of shy, didn't want to do the tests, anxious, etc. Of course, after all that she's been through, this hearing test was nothing. She introduced herself to EVERY person she met, even ordered her own food at the hospital cafeteria, and was talking to people in the elevator. She's also so patient (no pun intended). We waited in the hospital for over 45 minutes, and not once did I have to say anything to her about behavior. She just sat quietly. People are pretty shocked when I tell them she's only 2!
