SERIOUSLY!!!

Seriously! I get so frustrated with doctors. We had Brody's follow up appointment yesterday for his hydrocephalus and it was almost a complete waste of time. So ya'll remember back when he was three weeks old he was transferred from UNM Hospital to Presbyterian because the Pediatric Neurosurgeon was there. Well right after we got to come home the surgeon moved to UNM. It was a pain in the a$$ to even get his 1st follow up appointment because they said he didn't have a medical number at UNM. What?!? He was born there. So anyway we finally got an appointment and the dr looked at Brody said he was doing fine and that we would get another ultrasound and follow up again in 3 months. Well here we are 3 months later and we went and had an ultra sound done about 2 weeks ago and yesterday was suppose to be the dr explaining the results of that ultra sound to us. Well this is what we heard. The ultra sound come back negative, meaning that his ventricles are larger than the previous ultra sound they had. But the last ultra sound they have is the one when he was three weeks old. So they need me to go to Presbyterians x ray department, get them to burn a CD of all the images taken there, take that CD back to the surgeon's office, he will look at it (who knows when) and then call us to let us know if everything is ok and come back in 3 months or if we need to go get a cat scan to see if we need to start treatment. This is not what I wanted to hear when I went in there. I thought when we requested all of his records to go to UNM they would have gotten everything they needed. And when I told the dr that he said no they only send the paperwork. Well why in the hell couldn't he have taken all the records from the patients he had at Presbyterian to UNM. That would have been way too easy. I just want to scream! OK enough about that! We had Brody and Savannah's eye appointment on Monday and everything looks good. The dr said that they are far sided, but that doesn't mean a whole lot because all babies are far sided, but I guess Brody was a worse that normal so he has to go back in 6 months for another check up but Savannah doesn't have to go back for a year.
