another update...

So I finally got Jackson an appointment with another new Pediatrician {which is conveniently located next door to the Allergy & Asthma office}. Since we have moved out here to Brighton I have had a hard time finding a Pediatrician that I like. I was extremely happy with the last one that a good friend {thanks Heather} referred us to. With my expectations high, I was determined to find one that was just as good. I was so dissapointed. I heard there was a pediatician in our ward, and I called to see what I could do about getting an appointment, I found out that they weren't accepting new patients. But with the help of a good friend, I was able to find a pediatrician that was better, not as good as the last one, but better. And I'm still contemplating on whether or not to switch again {another story, another time}.

This is how the appointment went. We got there about 5 minutes early. They couldn't find Jackson's charts. I was taken into the room. The Medical Assistant didn't know how to take an 11 month olds temperature. She weighed him {17 lbs. 10oz.}, and then left us to wait for the Doctor. The Doctor walks in, and has a southern accent. He asks what has been going on and I proceed to tell him that J has been vomiting. I also told him that I started a food log to try to see what was causing all of this. So I told him that I found that if he had more than 4 oz of formula, that he would vomit it all up within 3 minutes. So he said "Then I would stick with 4 oz. at a time." {I kind of already gathered that information myself}. Then I told him that I had a friend that thought that maybe it was a reflux issue, so I had made an appointment with a GI {Gastro Intestinal} Doctor, but I wasn't going to go to the appointment unless he thought that, that was what I needed to do. So he said, "Then I would recommend an Upper GI Scan for him, and that will be done at Children's Hospital." Then I kind of just shook my head and wondered if the $20 co-pay was worth it for him to tell me exactly what a friend had told me.

AAAAHHHHHH!!!! I can't handle this anymore.

I just want it fixed already. And now I am getting ready to take Jackson and myself to California for my Cousin's baby shower {the 15th} and Grant & Julia's wedding {the 22nd}. Now I just wait to get this Upper GI Scan scheduled, then come home from CA and take him to the GI Specialist. It's all just too far away for me to know what I need to be doing.
