No news

Nothing new to report really. We are just waiting to get into the new doctor at Glennon, and that won't be until Oct. 9th. Seems like forever away! Bryson has been doing great. He cut his first tooth and has been fussy from that, but otherwise doing great. Therapy is going really well. He is now rolling over and sitting up on his own. Its awesome.

I spoke with the old immunologist that we went to a few weeks ago and didn't like what they had to say. Their solution was to give Bryson boosters of his vaccinations that his titers came back low on. That made no sense to me. I understand that means that he didn't take to the vaccinations the first time he got them, so why do it again? Why not try to figure out WHY he didn't take the vaccinations? They didn't have any answers for me, and didn't even address the critical low labs that came back. I was pretty pissed. I just keep thinking thank GOD for our pediatrician and thank GOD I work in a hospital so I know better with some stuff. What if I didn't know better? Would this all just get ignored? Scary. I spoke to our ped about all of this and she was shocked. She doesn't want to vaccinate him until we see the immunologist at Glennon, which I agree with. She also wants to know WHY this happened the first time, so I know I am not crazy in thinking that this doctor was wrong. Not only am I unhappy with their answer to everything, (which to me is just covering it up...not fixing it) but their staff was so rude. Never in my life have I been so uncomfortable in a doctor's office (and believe me, we have been in our fair share!) Also, they NEVER called me with his results. I called them four times in two days, knowing that they had his results because I sat there and watched the lab tech fax them over to them, and they would not call me back. It took one week for me to talk to someone in their office about his lab work and the never even mentioned the low labs that our pediatrician was concerned about. The system is so messed up. Anyway, enough of me venting about that. Long story short is, there is nothing new going on with him until we go and see this other doctor at Cardinal Glennon.

Connor is home on cycle break for the next three weeks...ahhhhhh!!!! I think I am going to go crazy! Don't get me wrong, I love being with my kids, but he likes to be entertained ALL day. I will survive, lots of trips to the zoo in our future!
