Mrs. Pissy Pants
So Bubba has run a fever for the past 3 days. I AM NOT MAKING IT UP! I'm tired and here to vent. I know in my gut that there is something we are missing. I just wish I could find a doctor that would keep him all day and run EVERY blood test and EVERY x-ray until I have an answer. He has bowel problems, he gets welts, he runs fevers for days with no other symptom, he sleeps more than RIP VAN WINKLE.....Come on already!!! The thing that makes you even more mad as a parent is when you go in and they check his white count and thats it, nothing wrong they say, "he seems happy"....well no shit, he is ALWAYS happy!! They arent listening, they arent listening.......and to be honest I am sooooo tired of talking!!! I tell myself everytime I leave the drs office that next time I am not going until I see he is critical, and then I just keep going back, Well I am tired! Tied of what if, tired of the answer "nothing" , ttired of co-pays just tired. Hopefully whatever he has he grows out and hopefully it doesnt kill him first!!! Im so frustrated! If you know me you know that MY gut instinct is ALWAYS right!!! Always!!!
wow, I know you are frustrated. Here's an idea, research an Indian doctor. They tend to be big fans of extensive testing until they find an answer. Just an idea. I am so sorry for all your family has had to go through with Bubba's illness. Bless his little heart ♥
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel sweetie. Tay was the same way.... fevers for no reason at all, stomach pains, slept all the time... but still a happy child. I just knew something was wrong even though we went through almost 2 years of hearing "nothing was wrong." Finally we saw a specialist at CMH and found out that both of her kidneys weren't working right... so off to surgery we went. I was so relieved to find out I wasn't crazy after all. You already know what you have to do... find a doctor who is willing to stick with you until you solve the mystery. Don't take anything less for an answer. Ok? Hang in there and vent any time you need to. And don't be afraid to do your own research. That's how lots of moms figure it out. Remember that mommies know best. Love ya girl.
ReplyDeleteI can understand your frustration. I had a feeling it would happen again....it is frustrating to me also!! Keep your head up. Like you said...you will find an answer someday or maybe he will just grow out of all this quirky stuff. Vent anytime you choose with me...I am always here to listen. Thanks for sitting with the girls tonight...much appreciated. Love you Sissy!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry your frustrated. I makes me mad that your family has to go through this again, & again, & again. I'm here if you need anything. And BTW, who is Rip Van Winkle?
