So I have calmed down after the whole doctor visit on Friday. I called that afternoon and changed Sam's primary care manager. It felt good to take charge of the situation and have control of the outcome. I also got a list of the civilian peds in town with openings and will start looking into moving her basic care off of the installation. I called her EFMP doctor and spent over an hour visiting with him about the whole vaccines -vs- no vaccines debate. I am so glad I have done my homework as it gave me the ability to really discuss things with him on a level where we both got something out of it. Regardless if Sam starts to see a civilian PCM, her developmental peds doctor will remain the same.
Saturday we went to the EFMP (Exceptional Family Member Program) breakfast and egg hunt. Sam had a decent time, and was excited to break open her 4 little eggs at home and find candy in them. The Easter bunny has been preparing a basket to deliver and I cannot wait to see her face when she gets up on Easter morning.
It's been a quiet weekend at home. Next weekend we will head to Kentucky for our family retreat. It will be nice to get out of town and away from the norm for a while. It's been gloomy and rainy here and I am hoping for some sunshine while at the camp next week.
I look forward to hearing how the family retreat ends up going. I am sure it will be a great event. Not to mention, it will be nice to get out of here for a few days.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you went ahead and got her a new PCM. The other guy is obviously not equipped to see an atypically developing child (let alone one that is developing as typically as can be!) UGHHH is all I have to say about that guy. I will definitely be stearing clear of him.
