Once we got there a great man from radiology came and got us. He weighed and measured him (Thomas weighed 29.2 lbs!! So Close!!!) and then went to take his blood pressure. Thomas started to freak with the blood pressure and the sweet man said you don't like it we don't do it. Its more important to get the x-rays.
We then waited for him to come back and get us for radiology and Thomas started asking a million questions. He also stated that they needed to have a picture on the blank wall, I agreed. He was thrilled to realize that he had won the battle over the blood pressure cuff. The sweet man came back for the x-rays and Thomas was amazing!!! He stated he wanted to sit and not lay down but the man explained he had to lay down. I don't know if it was the man himself or just that he was a man but Thomas trusted him and listened to him. It was the first time that I did not have to hold my son in the apron for x-rays, I stood behind the window and watched.
The doctor came in with copies of the x-rays and explained that basically his x-rays are boring. He has grown a little in the last six months and his spine has made no significant changes. Whoopie!!! I questioned about his difficulty to sit criss cross applesauce and he examined him. He stated that his hip movement showed some lack of range in motion and that is to be expected based on his spine. He said that he indeed would be uncomfortable sitting in that position. It was nice to have confirmation that what was observed in the classroom and at the table was indeed a physical limitation and not just a 3 year old attitude. :) And with that we were done, off to McDonald's for his reward and we go back again in 6 months!!
As Thomas has learned to sing the song:
"The LORD has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad." Psalms 118:24
