Hearing test and 2nd Check up

Corgan had his follow up hearing test at St Augustine’s hospital this morning...he passed this time, he has to go for a follow up in 6 months time because they are concerned because of certain medications used when he was born as they can cause hearing loss and so can blood transfusions…He also had another appointment with Dr Egner...The patient before us was a little girl that was also born at 26 weeks and weighed 580g….she will be two years old next month…we discovered that Corgan is Dr Egner’s smallest surviving patient...Corgan’s weight is now 2,25kg. Dr Egner was happy with everything…he gave a script for some stuff called Polycose to add to the breast milk for extra calories, we also got a script for the next Synagis injection, we have to order it…we went to Parklands and visited the NICU – and all the other hospital staff along the way – Silindile, Sindi, Vanessa, Shanita and Welile were on duty…We handed in the scripts…all should be ready on Tuesday…while in the hospital pharmacy a nurse from maternity ward came to say hello...she mentioned that she heard we had a panic attack and took Corgan back to the hospital...I told her the real version of the story...annoyed...Corgan was fast asleep when we got home…
