We're back at it!

Today we continued our hearing screenings at the Child Development Lab. We have become an efficient team and are completing the screenings much faster and with ease. Today we saw four children. Three of them were very cooperative. The forth child was a bit uneasy and clung to his mother for the entire process. Even though he was less than excited to let us look in and touch his ears, we were able to complete otoscopy, tympanometry, and otoacoustic emissions-- a success!

Afterwards, we visited the Buffalo Trace Distillery, an interesting and important part of Kentucky history. The distillery began in 1787 and currently consists of 119 acres and 114 buildings. It is located on an ancient buffalo migration path (hence the name). The cool thing about this particular distillery is that it is the oldest continually operating distillery in the U.S. and was operational even during Prohibition. Locals were only able to purchase whiskey if it was for "medicinal" purposes and they had a prescription from their physician. Those of us that are 21 were able to have a taste. It was quite an experience. :)
