I posted this in my blog, but I'm starting to dislike the way our blogs work, because no one really saw it, and everyone's been asking about our Clinic Visit! SOOO....I'll post it here <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Hey Everyone! Sorry to wait so long after our appt. to update everyone, but things have been in a state of chaos around here, all week!
As you all know we had appts with BOTH of Paige's Dr's on Monday. We saw the Ped. in the morning and Dr. Black that afternoon. Things with Dr. C went pretty normal, it was just a regular 2 Month Well Baby Check-Up. We did decide to hold off on her immunizations though, until the next day, so she wouldn't be cranky and sore for the trip to Kansas City.
Things at Clinic went great as well! I have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed with the care and attention we received this time. I guess we just caught the clinic on a busy day last time; that, and Robin had said that Dr. Black had stepped out for a meeting.
Anyways, Paige's weight is 11lbs 5oz. and her height is 22 & 3/4 in. The team was so excited, because that is RIGHT where they want her to be. So, it means that we have her feedings; and enzymes perfected!
Next, we saw the NP & Dr. Black and ran through the normal questions, and then I got the chance to ask mine. I asked them about the care I received last time, and about their Stats according to the CFF website, and they both got pretty excited. I figured it would create an uncomfortable atmosphere, but it didn't! They welcomed it, and we all went over everything, and I'm pleased to say that I'm going to stick with my center. They don't have a caregiver/patient panel, but hopefully that will change in the future.
I also asked about starting Paige's CPT's and Nebs and told them that I want to be proactive about this, and she totally agreed; and they ordered me a Neb machine and had the RT come in to show me the CPT's. I'm so excited that they agreed with me, and are willing to follow the same path with me.
We also discussed RSV injections. The Ped. thinks we should consider them; but Dr. B says he's neutral on the subject. He says if we want them, then they'll be ordered, but she doesn't HAVE to have them. He told me to come home and research them, and then make my decision. SO, what is the opinion on RSV injections on this Forum? Should we get them, or Not?
Also, they did forget to schedule Matt's sweat test, AGAIN! So they scheduled it while I was there this time, and managed to get a time to do it on the date of our next clinic...which is 09/17/09.
Anyways, I'm just happy to report that Paige is doing great! We haven't started CPT's yet, I'm waiting on the Nebulizer to get here, but I'm pretty positive, and I really think this will help us get into more of a routine!
*UPDATE! 8/24- As I posted in a related discussion, we got Paige's Nebulizer Friday! We also got a call from the Clinic, and Paige is culturing Staph again <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">. We're also fighting the Thrush STILL! All this, and one VERY bad diaper rash on top of it. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> My poor little girl <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">*
