Enjoying a swing
Tuesday we ventured over again, but this time it was to see the audiologist, whom I adore!! She is great! We've only seen her once before, but she remembered details about our family and always takes the time to just sit and talk before she gets started. She is awesome with the little bubby boy too:). Everything looked really good with his ears. His ears are all structurally normal, with the exception of really small holes:). He was responding to her noises, which he didn't do really well the last time. When they do this test, they put you in a sound proof room. Patrick must of loved the quiet time away from his brother, because he decided to take a snooze. While he was sleeping, she was able to do another test (which we were not planning), which showed his brain waves comparative to his sound waves. Everything looked perfect!!! Yay!!! He actually has "normal" hearing. Now what he does with what he hears is another story. But we are truly thankful for this good news!!! I was really happy after that appt, and was seriously thinking of investing in a sound proof room after that;)
We left there and headed back to Avery's softball game. I thought it would be a good idea to bring the boys(Tim included) out in the 105 degree heat index. Jameson and Tim lasted about 2 minutes, before they were dripping in sweat. So I got to watch the game all by myself, which was actually quite enjoyable. Avery did great! She pitched half of the game. They lost in extra innings, but they played really well. And Avery and I looked like we had just been to a waterpark afterwards!
Playing ball with daddy:)
Wednesday we were back to Ann Arbor for his eyes. Now before you think I am crazy for not scheduling these appts on the same day.....I did.....the last 2 times they were scheduled. I have been trying to get these appts in for months. We've had to cancel due to the flu and other reasons. Now, the eye doctor, by far, is my least favorite! It can take forever!!!!! I usually never have to wait for his appts....except here. This day would be no different. I thought we would be in the clear because he didn't need to be dilated this time. Nope....the line stretching out the door, was indicator 1. The lady asking at the desk, why she's been waiting an hour, was indicator 2. So we were there for over 2 1/2 hours. But his eyes look good. They were very pleased with his progress. We need to just keep an eye(haha) on his wandering eye, so that we can inform them if it's getting worse, so he doesn't rely too much on the other one:)Now we just finish up his summer therapy and go to the pediatrician for a check up (and lots of paper work for school) next week and then he's off to school in September!! My big boy!!
Tim and I were fortunate enough to have a little detox weekend last week. We went camping, just the 2 of us, on lake Michigan:)) It was amazing and relaxing! We both love camping!!! There is something so tranquil about it. Everyone there is so happy and they take things slower. Just enjoying being outside. We were able to walk to the beach, which was beautiful! If you haven't been to a beach on the west side of Michigan, you're missing out! We feel lucky to have people around us to take care of the kiddos, so we can do this sometimes. We come back so refreshed:).
Next weekend we are going to take Avery on her own little trip, without her brothers. Now don't get me wrong....I love my boys, but Avery makes a lot of sacrifices for them and NEVER complains....ever!!! She loves her brothers! So we feel like she deserves her own little time with us, without us saying, "you're brothers are tired or hungry or stinky." Besides...Jameson and Patrick won't ever know the difference;). So I will definitely post after that with pics and stuff!
Alright...time to stop ignoring my kids:)
