Adrian complained of leg pain after the shots last night and went to bed early. We woke him up at 06:30 to get ready for his appointments today at Sick Kids.1. Before the 1st appointment with the ENT doctor at 10:00, Adrian had his hearing test again with the audiologist. He cooperated and did really well at the test. The result echoes with his last audiogram and confirms the need for high frequency amplification. The audiologist went over different options of hearing aids and provided her recommendations. Later we met with Dr Papsin, the ENT specialist who signed the ADP (Assisted Device Program) form and again recommended the need for the hearing aids for Adrian. He couldn't be in a better position to emphasize the need for amplification since he, too, has hi-frequency hearing loss! After meeting with the doc, we were brought to another room where the nurse was trying to clear Adrian's ear wax by flushing both his ears. The doc later came to finish the last part by scooping the rest out. Adrian was so calm and people there were so impressed on how brave he was!
2. Next comes the appointment with Dr Baruchel. It's also our first time going to the new relocated Haematology/Oncology clinic. Adrian had a fun time exploring different areas in the waiting area. But we didn't get to meet Dr Baruchel for some reasons (he didn't come in for the day) and we were seen by a Nurse Practitioner. We were advised the last urine result together with the Cardiac Echo test results were all normal. She'll yet to find out when our next appointment is going to be (either 3 months' or 6 months) and we'll receive the appointment slip in the mail.
One of the sections in the waiting area is the "Kitchen".
Adrian asked why the tap wasn't working... hmm, it's a toy!
In the consultation room...
3. Lastly, we paid a visit to the hearing aid centre nearby and got the ear molds done for Adrian. The hearing aids will take 2 weeks to come and we'll visit the centre again for the fitting. This is going to be our birthday present for Adrian... :)
