Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Jen, I wonder why it is that the doctors we'd like to see the soonest, make us wait the longest to get in! Can you call your ped and ask your ped to see if maybe he/she can get your appt moved up? Please keep us posted on Trentyn. I'm really happy to hear that he is feeling better. > > Hi everyone, > > > > I have not been able to keep up with all the posts, but had to > share my scary night...
