I finally bit the bullet and switched Braelyn's doctor...something I have been swearing I would do for months. They have misdiagnosed her twice in the last few months and this latest was the last straw. On Saturday morning, one of her eyes was crusty and oozing. Cardinal signs of pink eye. I took her in for a sick visit and he seemed very annoyed. She has a green runny nose, oozing eyes, fluid in her ear and a cough. He told me she had a "summer cold." Um, excuse me? A summer cold? It was very obvious to me that some kind of infection was present however, he refused her any antibiotics. Only gave her some eye drops that we found out from the pharmacist aren't recommended for kids under 2. Needless to say, her eyes are not getting better despite the drops. I called again today to request that he call her in some oral antibiotics and he refused without seeing her AGAIN. And can't see her until tomorrow. That was it for me. I called another very highly recommended pediatrician that saw Braelyn in the hospital when she was born. The only reason we didn't continue with her is because they didn't accept our insurance. After explaining the situation to them, they have agreed to accept Brae as a patient. :) I am thrilled. I know that she will get competent care from someone I can trust. (I know that Grammie will be happy about this change!)
Other than that, it's just job searching and lots and lots of praying!
