I started the morning off with a 5:45am wake up call from Peyton. In the past this has always been my indication that sickness is near and wouldn't you know...she is running a low grade fever off and on. I am crossing my fingers that it is only teeth but with her luck, I seriously doubt it!
So we make it to the appt only to be greeted immediately by a TCH Human Resource lady (who was way too cheery for 8am) letting us know she can be our future contact if we ever have any scheduling difficulties. Nice perk but did make me feel guilty again for getting such a quick appointment. She obviously didn't know how we were able to get an appointment so quickly as she kept throwing names out there to see our response but knew we had connections somewhere...we didn't share any more than we had to :)
When we were finally able to meet with the Doc and his Intern we spent most of the time going over history. Wouldn't you know my pediatrician STILL DID NOT send the complete medical records after I requested them twice and the nurse at the immunology clinic called Friday requesting them as well! Frustrating!!!!
So after they got my run down it was decided that they wanted to do all new labs for both her immune system and allergies. They came and took 12 vials of blood from my poor screaming baby! It took 2 of us to hold her down and she even fought so hard she popped the needle out of her vein once. The worst part was (I was closest to her head) she would scream, thrash her head back and forth then stop....look at me and say "mama, mama" and I could do nothing to help her. Poor baby :( She passed out from exhaustion 15 minutes later.
We should get some results of the blood work in 10 days and have a follow up with the doc in August. I am so anxious to get some answers!!!!
