Thursday 5/15/03
This was an overall “easy” day of appointments, however, because of Les’ surgery the day before, there was the challenge of moving him around without hurting him. We worked out a system getting him into the stroller and away we went.
Our first appointment was a hearing test. They had a great way of working with children. Instead of raising your hand when you heard a sound, they had him pick up a large wooden peg and put it in the hole. They made it into a game and he did quite well. He didn’t even have to get out of his stroller at all during this appointment.
Our second (and last) appointment was a pulmonary test. Again, they had it geared to kids. No blowing in a tube to make a ball move. Les got to play a computer game by blowing the three little pigs’ houses down. He did great and we were done!
The rest of the day was spent hanging out at Grandma’s and resting.
