No more residents PLEASE!

Hi everyone! Today was a clinic check-up and pre-op appointment for Tim, which went fine. The pre-op appointment was at 10 o'clock which consisted of sitting in a narrow hall with about eleven other kids, their parents and their buggies, and 6 or so nurses. We waited quite a while, saw a nurse for 5 minutes to answer some questions, then waited again in the hall to see the anaestisiologist (sp?)... which was at 11:15! Yipes. And, of course, it was a resident. Now, I have no problem with Mac being a teaching hospital and all, but seriously, after all we have been through, the last thing I want to do is G-O, O-V-E-R, E-V-E-R-Y DE-TAIL... Really... really... SLOWWWWWWLY and then once that is finally done, WAIT while he checks with the doctor!!! Argggggggggggggggggg... Okay. I am done venting now. Sorry about that. (Ahem... collecting self) Where was I??

Well... Tim's usual clinic was able to do his bloodwork there so I didn't have to go to another floor and WAIT AGAIN. So that was good. Tim is just really itchy lately because it is all red and irritated and rashy under his dressing on his chest. Poor guy... to have that on so long. I tried some Emu oil on it tonight so we will see how that goes. I really don't want to put on any more medication. At least Tim is much more patient than I. He sat so nicely waiting, just smiling at everyone and playing with toys. Him being so good-natured is such a blessing!

That's all folks. Thanks for being my listening ear...
