Alfred 2nd Hearing Test and 3rd Pediatric Check Up

Today, I have to leave Alfred with his daddy as I was attached to an important course at my company. Early in the morning, Alfred needs to do his hearing tests. KS accompany by his mother to the hospital. The story line goes like this. Alfred need to goes to sleep before he could take the test. Normally, around 11am, it is time for Alfred morning nap. That is the best time. When KS successfully cuddle him to sleep, unluckily someone is in the hearing test room. Ks went into the testing room only after ½ hours. Sadly, the test failed again. When the 1st test failed, doctor changed to another type of testing tools. At that time, Alfred waked up. Again, they have no choice but to let Alfred taking sleeping medicine. The 2nd test was successful. Alfred has no problem in hearing. We are so glad to hear that news. But the doctor did mentioned, if Alfred could not talk when he reach 36 months, we have to bring him back to the clinic. It's definitely won’t happen, that is my hope!!




I’m back to my in law house in the afternoon as the course took up only ½ day. It is time for Alfred pediatric checkup. Today trip to pediatric is a pleasant trip. Although we have waited nearly 3 hours just because the nurses can’t find Alfred file, we have met good doctors. An applause to the those doctors. Although they are very young doctors, they act professionally. I threw out many questions at them and yet, they can answer well. As advice by Tonya, I did ask about the MRI. The test was done on Mac when Alfred admitted to hospital for 2 days due to high fever. Even the CT scan on his foramum have been done. The reports We also rose up issue on Alfred breathing. Sometimes, he seems like stop breathing for 1 or 2 seconds and then comes with a deep breathing. We ask the doctor whether Alfred is developing Apnea. As explained by the doctor, it is normal for young children. Their heartbeat is twice as fast as the heartbeat of an adult. If the breathing stops more or merely 20 seconds, then we have to admitted him to hospital immediately. Today conclusions, Alfred is really healthy and a happy boy. Although we don’t have actual growth chart for him, but as long as he is in good health, that have been really good. Alfred next checkup will be on December.
