1. Hearing Test at 09:30 – this is Adrian's second hearing test at SickKids. It's super difficult to test with Adrian given he's still young and he doesn't follow the games' rules at all! When asked to place the pieces into the puzzles ONLY when he hears the sound, he'd just do his own thing and occasionally follow the rules. We switched to a few other rooms during the test just to try out different equipment/setting. The audiologist wasn't able to test the pressure of Adrian's right ear due to the amount of wax he had! We have no ideas on the results in the end (well, it's more or less the same as last one) as the audiologist questioned the reliability of the test. Therefore she recommended Adrian to have a FEW MORE hearing tests before he actually sees the ENT doctor on April 1st. So, the next one will be on Feb 9th, then Mar 3rd and last one on Apr 1st just before our ENT appointment!
2. Abdomen Ultrasound at 11:15 – This time the ultrasound didn't take as long as the last one. However, compared to the staff we've come across at SickKids, this technician was very impatient. Adrian gets scared everytime he was asked to lie down and it usually takes a little while to calm him down. The technician quickly used the bedsheet linen to wrap Adrian's feet (because he was kicking and wanted to leave the room without lying down for the test) and did the ultrasound. Luckily that he calmed down quickly knowing it didn't hurt at all, the test was done in less than an hour and off we went for lunch.
3. MIBG Injection at 13:30 – There's Mama holding Adrian with 2 more staff both holding Adrian's hand & feet and the nurse doing the radioactive injection! Needless to say, Adrian cried and he was heard at the end of the corridor. The nurse gave him a present at the end (2 Hot Wheel Cars!) and he quickly smiled and waved goodbye to everyone in the room!
