Immunologist Appointment

Well, yesterday was the day to bring Nate for the appointment regarding the low antibody. What a joke!! You pay $40 for the specialist co-pay and they don't do half of the work. The doc said essentially the same things that our pediatrician said....could be big thing, could be small thing. He now needs blood work and stool specimens completed, but I have to bring him back to my pediatricians office or an outpatient lab service to do so. We have an appointment today for the bloodwork and we go back to the immunologist in 3 weeks. Another joke about the office is that you are not allowed to close the exam room door...how do they expect me to keep my toddler contained. I was told it is because they have to be able to keep an eye on the patients getting allergy shots for reactions. Well, 1) my kid wasn't getting the shots and 2) isn't that a privacy issue. I mean anyone could walk by and hear half of your medical information when speaking with the doc. On top of it all, you are also not allowed any food and drink!! Once again, how do you expect me to contain my toddler....snacks and drinks is one of the ways to a toddler's heart! I guess we will wait and see!

As for Cole's first cold...he still has it. His cough seems to be getting worse and now Nate and I have it too!! Jay is anticipating getting it any day now!
