Monday 14th July

Kaden had a hearing test at the hospital today - much to his disgust!!He wasn't very co-operative at all.As soon as i sat him in the little chair on his own he started whinning.So the lady asked me to put him on my knee.In front of us was a 2 way mirror which i learnt a man was behind watching Kadens every move.At either side there was 3 boxes on top of each other - one with a green fluffy thing in it,the other had a fire engine in it,and the other had a white rabbit in it.As soon as the man started the noise from the left with the flashing light Kaden started crying.It was like sitting in the ghost train hearing all the noises and scary things all around you with flashing lights.Kaden was not impressed!!After the test he said he had no concerns with Kadens hearing,had i?I have no issues at all with his hearing.He said he wouldn't see Kaden again unless we had any worries and was refferred upto the hospital again.He told me the reason he was checking his hearing was that Kaden had spent more than 5 days in the neo-natal and often these babies have hearing problems.
I'm glad that tests over with and thats another hurdle we have got over with flying colours.
We also met with the dieticion who asked about Kadens feeding.Kaden never seems too keen to eat anything.She said she'll have a word with the surgeon and the speech and language people and we'll catch up on the 28th July when Kaden has an appointment at the hospital for physio.
