I hope all is well and, hopefully, there will be more signs of growth for him.Chalice Lindgrenhttp://www.portlandpediatric.com/new-patient/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-88397592793010067222012-04-18T17:53:10.061-07:002012-04-18T17:53:10.061-07:00a nap room for in between blood tests is such an a...a nap room for in between blood tests is such an amazing idea. I made the waiting room my nap room so luckily I was the only one there. When I'm pregnant, I snore louder than a jet plane. I wake myself up sometimes. I'm so glad you found a pediatrician that you feel at peace with.Shareenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-43216401504352578992012-04-18T16:22:54.793-07:002012-04-18T16:22:54.793-07:00PPS- And by accents I should say that I use the sa...PPS- And by accents I should say that I use the same ones for everything. Nothing racist implied. I like to think they're kind of multi-cultural. Sam thinks I sound like a robot farmer.Rebecca Patrick-Howardhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=510492805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-31642978448099355762012-04-18T16:21:11.558-07:002012-04-18T16:21:11.558-07:00I'm glad you feel good about finding a new ped...I'm glad you feel good about finding a new pediatrician. We decided to change ours, even though he handled Toby's death well. (He even cried.) I just felt like my concerns weren't taken seriously the week before he died when I thought he was having a seizure and I was never crazy about the office. Our new pediatrician is awesome. he knows I am a paranoid freak and he is perfectly fine with that. He looks like he is about 16 and I can literally call him and say, "There's a problem...we need something done" and he will do it just to humor me. He's a big fan of being safe than sorry and that works out well for me. <br /><br />In the hospital when Iris was born the hospital on-call pediatrician came in and saw me. I asked her about a sleep apnea monitor since a lot of parents on the SIDS boards got them for their subsequent babies. Not only did she read me the riot act about that, she sent in a social worker to talk to me about it, convinced that I was paranoid and irrational. When the social worker came in she goes, "Would you like some information about SIDS?" I replied, "No, would YOU?" <br /><br />I knew that the monitor couldn't prevent SIDS. What I did NOT want to do again was wake up to another dead baby. I couldn't handle that a second time. If something was going to happen a second time I wanted to be there. My pediatrician understands that. <br /><br />PS- Your massage story cracks me up. I've told it a few times myself. Only, when I tell it, I include accents. It sounds like it should be a MARRIED WITH CHILDREN episode, like something that would happen to Al.Rebecca Patrick-Howardhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=510492805noreply@blogger.com
