It's Jan 31 and we had been home for about 2 hours after having the ultrasound done when my phone rings, it's Lilly's pediatricians office calling and the want to see us right away. I set up an appointment for the next day at 10:30 and David arranges to leave work to be able to hear the results with me. We also ask my mother to come along because they want to see our daughter, but if the news is bad I do not want her to hear it so she will wait in the waiting room with grandma. I have to say the call scared me, why did they want to see us so fast, what is wrong with my baby? My husband and I has a very long and stressful night.
The next day Saturday Feb 1 (yes our pediatrician office is open weekends) we got all ready to go, we dropped off our son Logan with my sister Grace and picked up grandma and off we went to see the doctor!
The wait to see the doctor was forever and Lilly was so scared that she clung to David and kept asking to go home and please don't let the doctor touch her.
We are called back and the check her temp 99.4, height no change and weight a little loss, blood pressure was good and so was her heart rate. We then get put into another room to wait and see the doctor, we are told it will not be Lilly's regular pediatrician because he doesn't work weekend and I am sad to hear this.
Finally after what seems like forever this cocky doctor walks in with a strong accent that I can only place is he is from India. I start to ask him if he needs to check Lilly out before we talk and before I could finish he cuts me off and just starts man handling Lilly, she is in tears because this stranger who hasn't even introduced himself to her just starts grabbing at her and she asks him to wait she wants I ask a question, he is ignoring her and David has to jump in and say she just wants to know what you are long to do before you do it, so she is prepared and aware. The doctor was so whatever about it and asks his assistant to go get her a Lolly pop, she didn't want the Lolly pop and just wanted to be heard! The asshole doctor was so condensing, didn't answer any of our questions, didn't listen to us trying to tell him what's going on an declaims all she needs is some antibiotics! I explain to him that she has been on antibiotics for 10 days, today was her last does and she has not improved and has been at a temp of 99 the whole time she was taking the meds, he ignored me and basically pushed out of the office after not even explaining her test results, just giving us a copy.
When we get home my husband and I are so upset about how this all went down that I decided I will take Lilly into see her regular pediatrician this week and go over everything with him. He cares for Lilly and he helps me understand and he was the one who ordered the test so we will get out answers from him.
