I think the enless blood tests that have always been traumatic but getting more so each time, are to blame.
Now every test, bar the eye tests, she just freaks.
She will not co-operate, and why should she, with having someone stick something into her ear.
She's ahd loads but the last 2 times they were unable to get accurate readings as she moves.
This will be the 3rd test this time round.
My mum is taking her tomorrow and we've always had to sit her on our lap and keep her arms by her side while the poor audiologist does the test.
Very funny but last time she bucked and squirmed and cried and after it was over she took the whatever it's called that takes the reading and stuck it in her own ear!
We've tried doing the test on mummy and nana and favourite toys etc first, but everything has failed.
Any tips welcome, I'll try them all!
