We Love Dr. Appointments!

What have we been doing with our time you ask, well we love to go to Dr. appointments! This afternoon Steeven had a CT scan done and the results were good. The admission lady was new, so we all know what that means. She did a really good job and thankfully Steeven didn't destroy her office. The when waited in the radiology department at Avera, again Steeven did good. I hope the other people didn't mind the singing and other things I was doing to keep him entertained.

The priceless moment came when the guy who was going to do the scan, whatever you call those people, saw Steeven and then on our walk back to the "room" he said, "He does have to sit completely still for this to work" to which I said, " I know". When we got to the room he asked me to lay Steeven on the table and "put his head in the foam thing". At that point the doubts starting coming to me. What will he think, how do I let him know it will be okay, what if he freaks out while he is in that "hole" and hits his head, and on and on? Lets just say that he did great and my very limited knowledge of the Creole language was sufficient, insert thanks to God here again.

Anyway, the results were good so our little guy just needs his tonsils and adenoids removed. We will wait to see what the eye drops do and if they don't work they will also probe, horrible word, his tear ducts during surgery and see if that helps the eye drainage.

I would just like to put this question out there: Is it considered bad parenting if you have to "gently" sit on your child to get the eye drops in his eyes? Just wondering.
