Yesterday I made an appointment with our New doctor to take Rachel in.
Rachel has Asthma and she will not do the inhalor, so before a cold or she gets sick and starts having trouble. I wanted the doctor to see her to get ready for the cold season. I asked her to prescribe a neubelizer or however you sp that. She did, and she took extra time to check Rachel out.
She was very good with her and talked to her and asked her first before asking me, not ignoring her like some demental thing and bi-passing her. Rachel really liked her, you could see it in her attitude, she relaxed with her and let her check her ears of all things, something she prefers not to have anyone do.
She asked lots of history, and took plenty of notes. She right away said she would look into more Speech Therapy for her locally, and she is ready to take over on what the Dev Ped in the next town was suppose to be doing.
Joshua was not there but she asked about him as well and she said she can manage his ADHD medication and ofcourse anything around his autism as well.
Time tells ofcourse, but I think within a month time we should be able to see if she is what we need. Before I walked out, without me asking for it, I was handed a card with a date for a follow up Appintment for Rachel in 3 months, and sooner if needed.
We also have a get aquainted appointment with her next month, will last 1.5 hours, how much better can it get.
Oh and one thing it really inpressed me, and trust me it don't take much :p. She walked out of the room and said, just a minute let me check on something and I'll be right back. I thought there she goes and I never see her again, because our last doctor did that every appointment, and he never returned, not even once, if he would say that, I would just get ready to go.
Well there she came back and spent a few more minutes with us.
She also said is time to start talking to Rachel about her private parts, and who is and who is not allowed to touch her. She checked Rachel, and she then told her and pointed and said, No one is to touch there, just mom and doctor, no one else, which is nice. On that matter however Rachel did not seem to pay much attention, and I know she understands and hears more then she ever shows us she is, so some is sticking, so I need to repeat it over and over, but was wondering about a book with pictures that would aid us on this. Anyone here knows of a book? For those with older daughters, how did you handle this?
