Another Thursday

H had her checkup today for her post UTI. Her pee still wasn't completely normal, but the Dr. said that happens to everyone. So not to worry unless she has another, then we will talk more about it. The OT called today to set up G's appt. We will go in on Monday for his testing. In answer to the reply about changing Dr.'s. It isn't the Dr. all the things that have been wrong with G are all legit things. Here is a little history for those of you who don't know. Last march we went out of state for a visit to some friends. There was a b-day party and i decide to give him some ice cream, within about 5 minutes, he started to cough. But since he had asthma, I thought it was just that his asthma. Within 15 minutes, he was covered from head to toe in hives. And was having trouble breathing. I called the ped, and gave him some benadryl, and a breathing treatment and watched him. It did calm him down and all was well. SO I decided after a couple of weeks to try again, same thing happened. SO I took him to the ped, who was very dismissive about it being a true milk allergy, so I took him to an allergist and had him tested. He was indeed allergic to milk, and eggs and a few other things. He also had reflux until a few months ago, which was also valid, as he would walk around spitting up everywhere all the time. I trust the Dr. I think poor G just has a few issues. Also my best friend is an OT, and I had talked to her about it before I ever talked to the ped, and she had said the same thing. I just get frustrated because he just has so much wrong. I also want to say that I didn't think the comment rude at all, thanks for your input. I just wanted you to know that I totally trust the Dr. I have changed before when I didn't agree. And as with the allergies, I am not afraid to find another Dr. if I don't agree. Sometimes a kid just cant catch a break. I will keep you posted on how the appointment goes on Monday.
On a good front. I was asked to serve on our Local Light the Night Committee. I am so excited about this. I so wish that I could start my own non-profit to help with the childhood cancer awareness, and someday I will ,just right now I don't have the people or the money to do it. But someday I will. For those of you who are new to my blog. I am a proud member of Friends of Heroes. This is a group that raises awareness about childhood cancer. It was started in honor of a child named Allie Scott. I have been a proud member for 3+ years now and have found that I have a great compassion for these children. I wish I could do more to help, but as I said someday I will. I promise. Anyway back to the Light the Night this is a walk to raise funds for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. I was the team captain for our Local Friends of Heroes team last year, and after the walk The LLS called and asked if I would be in the committee this year. We will meet next month. They called yesterday to set up a meeting.
G and L have been in a mood all day. G has been crying most of the day and L has been whining. I was just about to go crazy. I hope they are not getting sick. I am hoping that we can do something fun this weekend with the kids. We need to get out as a family and do something. We will be delivering our cookies this weekend. If ya need cookies let me know. Oh yes the Girls scout thing. I sent an email to all my parents letting them know that I was thinking of joining a new troop, and I did have a parent step up and say she would start helping out, I hope that really happens. Man I just cant do it alone. And as I said I don't really want to give it up, I just don't want to do it alone. I am also hopeful that if I stick it out this year next year there will be new girls to join hence more parents to help. We will see. Wish me luck. Well I guess that is all for tonight. Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come.

I'm really glad that you feel you can trust your doctor. I have not had the same experience. I have been through several bad ones in my life time. I hope to find one that I can trust too, soon! Our current pediatrician feels the need to blame everything on me. I have delayed vaccinations for personal reasons and every time he's sick and I take him in, the first thing that has been said to me on 4 different occasions is, "well you know, if you vaccinated you probably could prevent this" or "if you had vaccinated you wouldn't have to worry about this." BULL! Rashes, colds, ear infections, and common childhood illnesses have NOTHING to do with what they vaccinate for. I mean, he hasn't had Measles, Mumps, or any of that other junk.. Just ticks me off... Anyways.. I could go on and on. I'm REALLY glad that you have a doctor you trust. Too bad we live to far away or I'd "borrow" him/her! Thanks for replying!
