The Big Test

Hearing test... done and dusted. As suspected, he was not into the idea at all. Folded arms, tears, bargaining, humph-ing, he did the lot. Also as suspected, he can hear every word I say. Although, I was wondering until just near the end if I actually had my Lion there with me. The child that was in the room with me was quiet, methodical, ordered, not my Lion. My Lion is noisy (too noisy, partly why we were there), haphazard, chaotic, that's my lion. So we got through all the tests, Lion behaved and did everything he was told. I did feel a little sorry for him, and for all kids that go for hearing tests there... Many of them are already having trouble understanding what people are saying, then they go and put an Indian Dr with a very strong accent doing the tests. **I am absolutely not doubting her qualifications, she was great, this has nothing to do with any high profile cases of overseas trained Doctors** Lion was concentrating so hard to make sure he did the right thing and I could tell he just wasn't sure what she was saying some of the time. So he passed with flying colours, now I know he is just ignoring me. I think his biggest problem is actually that he has his brain all over the place all the time, he can be concentrating on three things at a time and he is coping with that but then mummy's voice comes in too and it is just that one thing too much for him to concentrate on. Ahh, he tries very hard to be a good boy, I love him even if he does ignore me!

Hearing Test Tomorrow

Left this really late... Been trying not to think about it... Lion has a hearing test tomorrow morning (tuesday)... I am a little nervous... Would really love some prayer... Fairly confident it's nothing... He can hear a chocolate wrapper being opened in another room... He strangely can only NOT hear the sound of his mummy's voice... Going for the better to be paranoid than neglect a genuine problem aproach... Doc says he has enlarged tonsils that could be causing him some hearing problems... Supposedly we are going to the best in town when it comes to kids (public hospital)... Doc also said it's better to check while they are young than before it causes problems at school... With his "centre of attention/clown" personality we are going to have enough problems at school... I dont need hearing related ones... Had my little hyperventilate... Off to bed now.
