Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Well, wish us luck! We are off to Tiernan's four month well baby check up today and i am telling our pediatrician we want him banded. If she doesn't give us the rx, I am going to tell her we're getting a second opinion. I feel relatively prepared... I have tons of papers loaded with info (my ammo :-) ) on why we want it done. I'm really hoping she doesn't fight us on it, b/c she has been such a wonderful pediatrician, and I don't want there to be problems or wierdness between us. We shall see! I'll let you all know how it goes!! Candace,AZ mommy to Tiernan, 4 mos tort, plagio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 my family care dr thought there was nothing wrong w patricks head at 2 mos appt but i went ahead and called and made appt w dr rogers/childrens hosp. i called fam dr back and told her secretary i needed a referral. they didnt give me a hard time at all. they pretty much let me make whatever appts i want and then they backtrack and come up with referral so hopefully your dr will 'see things your way' as well if you want something done, they shouldnt give you a hard time at all. our dr thought our other son was fine with less than 10 words at 21 mos as well...we have a speech therapist now that she didnt give me a hard time with either (boy i sound really pushy and i am NOT but these were two big issues!) good luck. lorraine -------------- Original message -------------- From: "mommyluvset" <mommyluvset@...> Well, wish us luck!

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I hope you have a good visit with your pediatrician. I was worried that it would be confrontational when I scheduled the appointment with our pediatrician but it wasn't that way at all. He actually brought up banding as an option we could look into. Good luck to you! Feel comfortable advocating for your child, it's our job as moms! I hope it goes well. mom to Cole 8mos Starband (5 days) mommyluvset <mommyluvset@...> wrote: Well, wish us luck!
