Today's appt. with Pediatrician

[Guest guest]

I AM SOOOOOOOO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! We had our appointment

with the pediatrician today, and it did not go as planned. Before

we went in this morning, my husband and I were on the same page-

that we want Tiernan to have a band. Even if he never benefited

from it (which is HIGHLY unlikely) it wouldn't hurt him, so why not

give it a try? Especially since his measurements from Hanger are 18

mm. So, we went in together today expecting to say give us an rx,

or we're getting a second opinion. Our pediatrician gave us the I

really think he'll grow out of it, if was going to have vision

problems it would have happened by now (as if you can really tell on

a four month old), don't you have better things to spend that much

money on...song and dance. And we walked out without an rx. She

said she wants to give it another month or two and if we REALLY

don't like his progress that she will sign off on an rx for us. I

guess I'm just upset b/c , my dh, was supposed to back me up on

this and I feel like he totally caved in. I have to start an appeal

for our insurance to cover this b/c it's a contractual exclusion,

and I can't do that without the rx! I feel like we are wasting

precious time!! Yes, I can continue with repo (I have no choice at

this point)but I really wanted this for him. I know there has been

great success in banding older babies, but I really want to catch

this in our best window of opportunity. Can you tell I'm upset?!

Anyway, there you have it. I want to scream.
