We took Austin to the doctor today for his checkup. They didn't find anything wrong with him, other than what we already knew. We asked about the nosebleeds (he got another one on the airplane when we flew from Chengdu to Guangzhou, and he bled all over his pillow last night), but they didn't think it was anything to worry about - just dry, cool air. It's cool in the hotel room, anyway - not so much outside, although that's supposed to change the next few days.
He didn't really like the doctor visit very much. He doesn't like being poked and prodded, and didn't even want to stand still for them to measure his weight and height. And he
really didn't like getting stuck with a needle for the TB test.
It's too bad he doesn't like doctors. I fear he's going to be seeing a lot of them once we get back in the States.
Oh, what a brave boy! Sean, you look so relaxed with Austin. I'm sure that helps to calm him down and comfort him.
ReplyDeleteSean has been a natural with Austin. The two of them had a connection from the get-go. Austin gives love to all of us and comes to all of us for comfort--but there's a strong sense of security with his daddy and an obedience there that was formed in the first night we had Austin.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty incredible to see and I try to capture it in the photos when I can.
