So you want to hear how the 18mo. appt went? The appointment that i have been so hopeful about?
With the new Doctor that i was so sure was going to have all the answers and solve all our problems?
In a word:
BAD
I think it is time to shop around for a new pediatrician.
OK, so the doctor was given Roe's chart 3 months ago and was asked to look over it and be familiar with what has been going on with our little guy, in the hopes that she would be able to give us some direction.
(please take note that she was given his chart, not by my request, but by request of another Doctor)
It is my opinion after our appointment that not only did she not review the chart in any way.... she also didn't feel the need to even look at it as we sat there talking about everything that is happening.
I could be wrong, but suggesting that we add BUTTER and SOUR CREAM to his diet does not sound like someone who has reviewed our chart in any way.
So, i am becoming more and more convinced that:
1. This is why people say that Dr.'s are "practicing medicine" because even though we are looking to them to solve all our problems, they don't always have all the answers.
2. So far "Team Alexander" is doing a WAY better job at figuring out what is wrong with Roe than any doctors have done.
3. We get by with a little help from our friends...... OK so after this "setback" i still feel a peace that we are figuring things out, and that i owe entirely to YOU.
Thank you for your constant prayers, advice, and just the way that each of you lifts us up daily.
Next step Nemours Nov 29th. We will get answers there, and i will keep you updated.

I've been thinking and thinking about Roe. I'd like to send my friend who does pediatric genetics to the blog for her to maybe come up with some ideas. She loves a challenge and knows how much I love you guys.
PLEASE forward!!!!! yes yes yes
Bebe - I am so sorry to hear about the appointment!!! We were praying all week for you guys. If there is anything that we can do please let us know!
Also, have you seen Dr. Sanchez (the man)? I just discovered him after having John ... and he is the only doctor that will give us the time of day. We will be praying for his trip to Nemours!
Hey Bebe! I haven't checked in on your blog in awhile. I am so sorry that you all are still struggling with Roe's allergies. Hope to see you soon so we can catch up. In the meantime, I will pray for you all! XO
