Enough with the bloody tests already


So after some issues, I had to call Chloe's Ped, who referred me to the GI (that she saw on Monday), after I told the Ped that we likely needed to be referred to the GI. The Ped's assistant is great...don't get me wrong...But she canNOT communicate well (aka her English sucks). I am constantly having to repeat myself and have her s-p-e-l-l out her words. Seriously. Today we spent a half-hour over whether she was saying "9:15" or "9:50".... ANYWAY... The GI's nurse was not very happy with me because I chose option ONE on the phone which to her meant that I was either a doctor or hospital (how else would she answer my call?). So all in all, Chloe now has to do more blood tests AND they want to switch her formula to some other elesurecaremenilac (I just made that up, but that is probably the name of it and it probably costs $30 a can).

So really, she only has so much blood, and our last visit was not great, so I'm not sure how this is going to go. I think we have to go in three more times in order to get all the tests done that everyone wants.... I'm trying to get them all to communicate so that they aren't duplicating tests... you'd think they would think of that, but they are just too damn busy these doctors. Tomorrow will be day one of new formula, so here's to good health.

Next week she has 3 doctor's appointments (including 3 shots -- boo!) and now a blood draw. Happy March to you, too!
On the upside, doesn't she look cute?
