One of the down sides of moving is finding new doctors. This is not easy! I believe some are in it purely for the money and have found a way to run their practice to get as much as they can from a patient rather than actually helping them. I am not saying they are all like this but I must say I have met a few.
Luck was in it for us when Graham got the H1N1 a few months ago. Pediatric Pathways is a practice consisting of a few doctors and nurses and office staff that are just awesome!
Dr. Huff has been the doctor we have seen. He is from Odessa so how can he be bad?
Yesterday, Emma started mad dashes to the restroom and not because she was vomiting.
I ran and got my handy home test strips and tested her urine. She has a bladder infection.
I called the doctors this morning and took Emma straight in. When she could not pee on command, the nurses did not send us home with a cup, they waited patiently.
Emma finally gave up her specimen and we sat and chatted with the Wonderful Dr. Huff.
I was fully prepared for a good talkin to, but it never came.
He recommended "the best pediatric urologist" there is. He said they would not make her have another UCVG as they are very traumatic to the kids and really they should only have them every 2 years or so. He seemed confident Emma could still out grow this and said as long as we catch the infections early he saw no reason why we should rush her to the table.
I am almost certain he saw the relief flood my face. Emma perked up from her corner slouch and said I LIKE THAT OPTION! That is the one I want!
He said often times surgery is done to relieve the parents and children from the horrors of UCVG.
I feel as if a small load has been lifted. We will continue to pray every night that Jesus heal Emma, but I feel he has given us a tiny spark of hope by leading us here.
I believe these doctors are in it for the care and love of the children.
Dr. Huff was very kind, and careful how he worded things. I think he knew the wrong word would send Emma over the edge.
They are fantastic!
