Where did you go yesterday?

The ear, nose, and throat doctor.

Why?

To check to see if my ear is good and to see if he could figure out what the virus was.

What did he do?

He checked my nose. He checked my throat. And then there is this big microscope, and he looked into my ears. In both ears he had this big steel fork. He hit it and put it all around my head to see if I could hear well.

Could you hear well?

Yeah.

Then what did he do?

After that he talked to my Mom. Then we had to go into this other room across the hall. Then she…

Who’s she?

Rebecca…. the nurse. She put these blue tube in my ear and it showed a green picture of my ear drum. It printed out. I had to go to the computer. She put a box on my shirt and a tube in my ear. I would hear all of these beeps and other sounds.

What was she doing?

I think it was probably… it had all of these pictures. If it is a high picture it means good and if it is a low picture it means bad.

Were yours high or low?

They were both high. There was this little chart. It had lines that would go up and down and across. She put it in my left ear. She did it twice like my other ear. We went back to the green part. It printed out the pictures on the screen that happened.

We had to leave and go back to the doctor’s. He told us about it. He told us that it is o.k. and that nothing bad is going on in my left ear. He said Doctor Cox made my ear better.

So did he tell you anything else?

He said, “You have beautiful ear wax.”

Was he a funny doctor?

Yeah. He said I could help some other doctors. When we came in I had to sit up, and he told mom questions. I saw this tray with tools and shots. So I fell on the bed and said “I hope he doesn’t give me shots!” They didn’t give me any shots.

That’s good.

Yeah.
