Had a follow up apt. today

This afternoon we saw Dr. S., our NEW pediatrician. I even scheduled their back to school physicals with her today, so that they're set! Anyway, she listened to her lungs, said they're still not perfect, but definitely better than they were in the hospital. And I have to say, Peanut's done so good with her meds! She had to take an oral medicine, that was only in pill form. So she had to swallow 2-4 pills each time. But she finished them today. She still has the oral abx. to finish, but that's a liquid, so it's easier.

Dr. S. did say that her chest CT scan came back clear and normal, so that was good. And she's going to look into scheduling her MRI. She wants to talk to the neurologists to see if they want it done before the eye specialist or after. She's not sure if the neuro-ophthalmologist will have more scans that he will want. Since Peanut has to be intubated, not sedated, they want to make sure that they do as much at one time as possible. So far, it'll be her brain stem and the hypothalamus I think. But she told us to call her on Friday if she doesn't call us before then.

I must say, I did not like Dr. S. the one time we saw her for a sick child appointment about 3 years ago or so. I thought she was somewhat off, that she wanted me to diagnose my child. But I've certainly come to like her much more. Plus, she's been seeing Peanut in the hospital, so she's been familiar with her history and how she presents when she's so sick. And I like how she said what she was going to do, and how we should call her if we didn't hear from her. And that she wants to ensure the MRI gets all the imaging they need at one time!

So, I think we'll stay with this office for now. I was totally ready to switch offices. But, as long as we're getting this better care and service with her, I'm willing to stay. I didn't like the thought of changing, simply cuz all her history is there, plus it's her hospital, so that's good.
