Adrian has been complaining of back pain on a few occasions last week and this week. After a phone call to our contact nurse at Sick Kids yesterday, we decided to bring Adrian in to see his Oncology Specialist for a check up. This is also the FIRST time Papa took Adrian to the hospital meeting with the specialist to raise our concerns. Adrian was seen by Dr Baruchel shortly after arriving at Sick Kids at around 10am. He passed the first screening after being thoroughly examined by the doctor. Next in line are the emergency abdomen ultrasound, blood test, collecting urine sample, meeting with Dietician (as requested by us) etc. What a relief to hear that the ultrasound result was normal! Knowing that Adrian didn’t cry a bit during the blood test really amazed us – he’s such a brave little boy! Before call it a day at Sick Kids, Papa took Adrian to the nearby hearing aids centre to check his hearing aids as well. We will be back next Thurs & Friday for the rescheduled MIBG Scan/hearing test (originally booked in July) and will meet with Dr Baruchel again for the result on blood test & urine!! Keeping our fingers crossed!
