As you all know from my posts on Facebook, Adam has not been a happy camper going to school. He seems to always have an excuse for the meltdown - today it was that he wanted another hug - but he never says that when he's hanging on me. It's always after I pry him off of me and leave (or hide on the stairs listening). I told him he needs to tell me so that I can give him the hug or kiss he needs to go to class but he seems to forget. Mrs. Tucker took him downstairs today and distracted him with a clock. She told him Mommy would be back at 3:00 and set the clock to 1:00 and asked if was time for me to be there. Adam knew it said 1:00. They did that for a couple more minutes then he went back upstairs! He was so happy with himself for calming down quickly today and said he won't cry at all tomorrow. Let's hope!
Remember the squeaky dog toy incident? Adam still complains of tinnitus and asked his speech therapist to test his ears. She did a screening today and sure enough, he has hearing loss at the upper ranges in his right ear! She tested at 25-30 decibels and tested again to be sure - he couldn't hear until 45 decibels. Sooo..we have an official hearing test with the audiologist tomorrow and can talk with her about the tinnitus. Maybe she can give us an idea if the ear is healing, if he will eventually get that hearing back, if the tinnitus will go away completely, etc. Fun, fun!
