I feel icky and uncomfortable with much of the world this morning. I feel forced to consider things that I don't want to consider. For example, maybe I should de-friend a bunch of people.

In other news, Sebastian is going to the doctor for his annual checkup later this morning, and the odds are that he will get some vaccinations. I think that might bother me more than it bothers him, because it reminds me that he will suffer fear and pain and sadness in his life, and there's nothing I can do about it.

That is all.

you can be there for him while he is scared and hug him

Unfortunately I couldn't be there, so I couldn't hold him.

He ended up with one shot, and only cried a little. But he failed his hearing and eyesight tests, so he's going to have to go to have some special tests done.

I can't understand it. I've never seen the slightest sign of him having any eye or ear problems. He can hear even very faint whispers, and spots stuff that everyone else misses. I knew he'd almost certainly need glasses when he got older...I just thought he'd get more time!

The ear test results can vary. Kids his age get ear infections easily and may not even know they have them (or wax build up). It could also be a specific register of sound - my dad can't hear most women's voices, because of where they are in the sound register, but has no problems with men's voices at low volume.

Eyes... that's pretty much heredity kicking in, and unavoidable. I didn't get glasses until I was in the 4th grade, but should have had them long before that, it just didn't get noticed for the longest time.

maybe he is playing and not responding on purpose to the hearing test? i mean if he hears fine around ya'll maybe he is playing with the doc?? hope all goes well
