I know I'd be shopping for a new doctor after that mess. 2 things, you want your doctor to take their time with you & show that they care AND not assume this or that because your kid has DS. Absolutely unacceptable! We need more pictures of sweet Will, there aren't enough in this post. :-)To Love Endlesslyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528196412794557736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715440877520856625.post-37849748501591960532010-05-06T23:41:31.995-07:002010-05-06T23:41:31.995-07:00You are a funny story teller!!

I think your plan is good about the Ped....give him one more chance. Ella's ped doesn't have a ton of experience with Ds but she is willing to learn things and that is ok with me.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587160152394379314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715440877520856625.post-51367855770932419382010-05-06T23:25:49.838-07:002010-05-06T23:25:49.838-07:00Oh Steph, you ROCK! I will be better prepared next...Oh Steph, you ROCK! I will be better prepared next time and I certainly will use your stroller trick! I plan to ask the doctor directly if he has much experience in treating babies with Down syndrome, as I have no intention of allowing my son to receive substandard care because he has an extra chromosome. If he says that he does have experience then I plan to hand him the NDSA guidelines and tell him that I want them followed. If he says he does not, then I will still hand him the guidelines to add to his chart and then say something more diplomatic about working together because I obviously have a vested interest in making sure the Jack receives what he needs without wasting funds and resources on things he doesn't need. I cannot wait to try that stroller trick!!!<br />I appreciate the prayers!<br />Love and Hugs, TracyTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069674597754485710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715440877520856625.post-61117469568038190452010-05-06T22:57:09.977-07:002010-05-06T22:57:09.977-07:00First - Will is looking great!!! :) And I am sorry...First - Will is looking great!!! :) And I am sorry that you had to go through that. OK. Here is my best advice, #1. That stroller is useful - position it in front of the door (you know, just to get it out of the way) when the doctor comes in the next time. #2. Before the doctor lays a hand on him the next visit, don't ask, tell him to have a seat you need to have a talk. Remind him that Will is a baby first and if he is going to go dismissing things because of the DS, you will be looking for another doc - AND telling every special needs group in town why. #3. For future reference, he is not allowed to leave without answering all of your questions unless somebody is bleeding profusely or CPR is required. #4. This statements works wonders "My child will get the healthcare that he needs with you or in spite of you. You decide how difficult this will be from here on out."<br /><br />Sending you hugs and prayers.<br /><br />Steph and ChristopherStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08323989778846355329noreply@blogger.com
