Just to update Katlynn's progress...We went back to Birmingham..this time I was able to get a better outlook. I was able to talk to the Dr. without her in the room and better prepared. He said he thought she seemed to be doing better on the new med's . And did not feel she needed to stay for a tune-up. Wants her back in 5 weeks. I do feel like she needs to be treated more aggressive. With the new med's , but I will be the one to decide what she needs to hear....But as far as going back to the dr. she has seen for the past 8 years...the one that has not pushed the new med's or wanted to try her on something that is benefiting her now...to go from that point to telling another dr. and not me....he feels her sur. rate is 6 to 8 months...I have no interest in going back to him.If I can get a dr. that is going to want to try new things and be more aggressive. I will work with it...It will always be an uphill battle.
Take care all,
Nora
