Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Sigh, that stinks! And, I'm sure Dr saw you as a _concerned_ mom. That's what I usually tell myself, anyway, lol.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hi Margaret, I can so relate to your concern about Gareth's physical complaints. My family does the same with -- no complaint is too small. On one occasion, while on vacation,  woke up during the night with stomach pain. We took him to the ER to find out that he was constipated!! We've reached the point where we are oblivious to the doctor's reaction.  Better safe than sorry! Hope Gareth is feeling better!

He hasn't run a fever, per say, since it only got to 98 - 99 and his temp is usually 96-97.........but, he's got that MBL deficiency so his body doesn't know to fight bacterial infections. He kept pointing to the same area that the pneumonia started the past 3 times....LRL. I swear the doc looked at me like I was some sort of crazy Mom, out looking for attention, because the ONLY thing wrong with G was that he had a left ear infection!!! Thankfully, Strep was negative. The doc wasn't his normal one, but geeeeesshhh, I do know my kid!!! He kept asking Gareth these really in depth questions and G just looked at him, and then at me, waiting for me to answer for him or knock the question down for G to understand. Just a petty rant............you would think doctor visits would get easier, but they haven't. If G cries wolf, I listen.....over and over and over and over. Take care, Everyone.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 We have gotten the same type of thing. can get very sick very quickly SO when the little things start adding up I like to get her in and get it taken care of, I'm often seen as overreacting.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Margaret, I can relate. I never know with Zeb so I take him to the Dr regardless. We had a great ped that retired last year. She had a wonderful relationship with Zeb and clearly understood. Zeb is currently seeing a male associate in that group that has no clue. He tries but honestly does not get it.Soon Zeb will have to transfer to an adult provider. I am not looking forward to that experience.
