And the Story Continues - Monday

Here is what I KNOW:  God is always right beside us.  No matter what we are going through He is Faithful and True!  No matter what we are going through His Grace is sufficient.  And it is OK if you have to keep reminding yourself of this fact over and over!  ;o) 

There is a light on the other side, and hopefully we have reached it.  But, the road was full of traps and I think I did an OK job at showing Grace to others.  I mean I didn't punch anyone or really chew them out, even though I REALLY wanted to.

My last post was Friday after we got home from the hospital.  Jaxson slept well that night.  In fact he slept all night, which he hasn't done in a while.  So I guess there was ONE praise in this whole ordeal.
We had a lovely weekend.  Justin played football, Jadyn went to a Girl Scout outing, and we watched the the Thunderbirds perform the Airshow from our yard.  Thankfully Jaxson doesn't seem to be upset at all by his ordeal. 

Here is where the real fun begins :/ 

Monday I took Jax to his 8:10 follow up appointment.  We arrived at 7:50 and were not seen till nearly 9 o'clock.  The doctor was a totally new doctor.  He didn't really listen to ANY of my concerns and only made excuses for the other doctors.  He looked at the molluscum and said, "Well I don't know how to treat it in the diaper area, so I'm going to put in a referral to derm."
^&*%^&$%$^& was what I was thinking in my head!  I knew it.  Now that it is not "urgent" I will have to wait on the stupid referral to go through which can take up to 10 days before you can even make an appointment. "Sorry, that's the system". 
Then this loon starts to, I guess, complete the well baby visit that didn't get finished from the first doctor on Thursday.  He says, "He is drinking whole milk now right?  He is too old to be nursing" 
NO!  Yes he is drinking whole milk but we are still nursing at night.  We are weening, but no sir it is suggested for children to nurse longer these days.  Then he looks in his file and gives me a pamphlet on weening a toddler.  Seriously, I have done this 3 previous times.  I got this, lol. 
So he ask if the molluscum seems to bother Jaxson.  Does he itch it?  Well no, but if they decide to treat it I imagine it will get inflamed.  So he prescribes an antihistamine for itching and says it will also help with his cold. (He didn't have a cold before Thursday.)  Also he is giving us some lotion for other dry patches he has on his arms and legs.  Off to the pharmacy I go, thinking I hope they don't ever send me back to this guy.  I was not impressed.  But I was courteous and Thanked him for everything and left.

Yeah after waiting for about 35 minutes to be called to the window. I get up there and the meds are not in the system.  I walk back to the clinic to tell them and his nurse says they are.  No they are not, yes they are, back and forth for about an hour!  Pharmacy gal calls to talk to doctor and he is RUDE to her.  I can tell that she is a Christian as well, because she is trying to be polite when she just wants to scream - me too.  Wait some more, check again.  Yep, now it is in the system.  But, it is under Jadyn.  Call doc back.  He refuses to talk to her again.  She goes down there tells nurse.  Doc says No I entered it under correct patient......on and on until I went down there.  He walked out of an office and I politely took him by the arm and ased if he would walk to the pharmacy with me, lol.
When he got down there I let the girl talk to him.  He told her right in front of me, " I am a doctor.  I do not have time for YOUR computer problems.  I have tried to help you, but I can not hep you anymore.  I am and doctor and do not have time for this. I have wasted too much time on this patient already today!" Then he walked off :(  Oh NO he DIDN'T!!
 Upon hearing this the head officer in charge corrected the error for him by some magic I guess and gave me the meds.  We finally left the hospital at noon.

I was so mad I was shaking!  I needed to go to the CDC and talk to them to see if they have any cases of this there, but I am starving and too upset.  So I went home and had lunch and asked my neighbor to watch Jaxson while I went to talk to the director. 

When I got there I was obviously still upset.  So I made sure to tell her that I was upset and agitated, but to know that it was Nothing to do with our care at her facility.  I know she thought I was CRAZY!  I told her about all that was going on and she was tearful as well just hearing it.  When she said, "I can't believe this happened to you and your baby."  I just LOST IT!  for the first time I felt like someone was listening to us!  She was so nice.  Yes, they DO have 3 documented cases in the center.  The children are not in Jaxson's class and he had only been twice when he broke out, so we will never really know where he picked it up.  But the good thing is they are familiar with this and will help to keep it from spreading.  Also she said they will inform parents if they notice it on any other children, so that they don't have to go through this mess.    What a relief!  He just has to get the dermatologist to fill out a form saying its ok for him to attend care.  No problem.

I am still upset, but feeling better knowing that I have someone on my side.  She said to come see her if I needed anything or if the hospital was not helping.  I planned on going to Patient Advocacy Tuesday Morning with all my info.  If the docs had just called them before jumping the gun they would know that it was NOT a STD.

Ok my carpel tunnel is acting up.  Give me a few and I'll post Yesterdays events :)

Blessings
