A New Day.... A New Doctor...maybe the right one ;-)

We are back from meeting the pediatrician.....

I loved her -- she was so very friendly. Her office was great - extremely clean and well organized, also decorated very kid friendly with beautiful hand painted murals on the walls.

I brought the kids with me and first thing she was VERY concerned with Zach's size. I told her how small he was (19.2 lbs on my scale last night) and she said "we need specialists involved NOW!!!!"

She was great with him going to his therapies and had nothing but praise to speak of his therapy place.

You could tell she really LOVES what she is doing with children.

My favorite thing she said was "I believe that parents know what is wrong with their children - I am here to help these children get to where they need to be to live healthy lives. I want the parents to be full participants in their children's well being" I think she is going to be a GREAT fit for our kids and if not I'll find someone else.

She wanted the kids to be seen ASAP so we go in on Wednesday morning for Zach and afternoon for Zoe so I don't have to have Zoe with us as we are going over everything for Zach. She said she wants to see him so we can "move, and move fast on his issues - he is at a very crucial age for getting him help that should have been here sooner"

I really liked her - she brought happy tears to my eyes. Maybe we have found someone who is willing to be "very, proactive" (as my neurologist says we need) with our dear little Zachary!
