Janna and ENT

This morning I took Janna to the ENT. I was grateful for clear roads and not a lot of traffic. Janna was excited about going too. We dropped Simon off at school and then took off. She commented on how quiet the car was. It was very quiet without Simon.

We got to the office and I found a parking spot. Janna walked very well and stayed close by the whole time. She loved the rotating doors and the elevator. She was smiling and say hi to people who walked by and smiled or said hello. She is becoming more outgoing and less scared. When we got to the office she ran right towards the playhouse and started playing with another little girl.

A few minutes later we got called back. She got weighed and measured. She is 28.4 pounds and just about 37 inches tall. We got the room with the firetruck and big bird, elmo, burt, and ernie on the walls. The doctor looked at the ears and saw the tubes in both of them with a bunch of wax. We then walked to another room where she layed on my stomach with her belly up as I sat in a dentist like chair. I had to hold her hands down while the doctor cleaned and then removed the tube with wax. It was some neat tools. There was a really nice nurse who talked with Janna and held her head and got her to sing for her and talked to her about her bandaid. (She cut herself pretty bad with scissors at school two days ago.)

Then she got a hearing test and did a great job as the doctor put wires type thing in her ear and then went outside the room and asked her to point to certain pictures. Then they did the beeping test where you look the direction you hear the beeping side in. Janna did a great job.

She got a Dora sticker after the hearing test. Then we saw the doctor one more time. He is all was good. Her ear drums were good, perfect at the hearing test, and tubes gone. We don't need to see him anymore unless we have more problems. Of course we will be back for Simon:)

On the way out Janna spotted an elmo sticker, she said "Mommy, Simon loves belbo." We picked up a sticker for Simon. She gave it to him as soon as she walked into the school. Simon was loving a new toy and I don't think he even noticed. I love the thoughtfulness of Janna thinking of her baby brother.

She got a sucker on the way out and then back to school. She walked in no crying, good thing today is movie day. I had a great morning with her. She is an awesome little girl and I am so blessed to have her.
