Marcus has been such a brave boy this past week. Some new and possibly scary experiences for both mom and him. First we headed to Children's Medical Center to have a head CT done. We are on a hunt to track down the causes of his headaches lately. We practiced laying really still like he would have to do. I was so hoping he would cooperate so he wouldn't have to be sedated. I kept reassuring him there was no pain or nothing touching him. He told me he was scared but he would be brave...and so brave he was. He climbed up on the table and put his arms down to his side and told the lady to start moving the table. Perfect images 1st time around and we were done! Nothing found requiring emergency treatment...just waiting on final results from the dr.
Secondly, (part of the same headache hunt) I made his first eye exam appointment. I needed to go anyways so we got back to back appointments. Again I tried to explain what they would ask him to do. I forgot about the puff of air test...I hate that one myself so I was expecting him to protest a little after the 1st eye but not a thing...he changed eyes and took it like a man!
He did great and passed with flying colors. No vision problems of any kind and the doctor told me she was very proud of how well he took and followed directions. She said she had better cooperation and a more thorough exam from him at the age of 4 then from some patients at the age of 10. Way to go!!!
Now if I were truely a mean mom I would have scheduled a dental appointment too this week....nah...we'll save that one for later!
