except it.

Good luck

Jodi - I'm so sorry. Completely unacceptable. If it were me.....I

would call in the evening after hours and find out who is on call

that night.......maybe it's even Dr. Rosh. If not, try talking to

that physician after hours - after all - if Max is having hiccups

and does not have his medicine.....it would be cause enough for me

to call. Also, if you don't get anywhere with the physician this

evening - the next thing I would do is try calling Dr. Rosh at

home. Hey, it's what I would do. I would apologize profusely and

explain you are participating in the same holiday but, this crisis

has come up and since the rest of the office is unable to

cooperate. Those are the only suggestions I have. I think your

husband going in may or may not get some results - for your sake -

it will definately make you feel better. I'd be happy to make the

calls for you <grin>. I'm really good at it! <BIG GRIN>

Even if my suggestions seem way out there. I'm sending you some

hugs in hopes they will make you feel a little better.

Chrissy - that's a great avenue/idea to try too. I would try that as

well.

I cannot in good conscience call the doctor at home, but I can email

him. I can also call the doctor who is covering for him tomorrow and

raise hell. Actually, I'll get my husband to do it. He needs to take

more action in this. I'm tired of running myself ragged over this

stuff and cooking for the holiday and teaching and everything else.

Let him step in. I hate to admit it, but he sometimes gets results

when I can't.

Jodi Z

Did I mention that Max wants to try going to school for just two hours

each day? Good for him. He wants to be there and will do whatever he

can to get whatever he can. What an ordeal this is!

[Guest guest]

Jodi,

I hurt for you and will pray.

[Guest guest]

Good luck to you.

I have HAD it!!!!

Oh, I need to blow off steam! Oh, I am so angry!!!!!!

I got a call from Max's case manager today. She said that I need to

get a doctor's note frome the GI that explains why Max is not in

school. Why didn't they tell me this last week?????

Okay, so I called the GI's office. Dr. Rosh, Max's official GI, has

left for the day because of Rosh Hashanah. Well, I celebrate that

holiday, too, but I was still at work at 3:15.... He is out of the

office until Thursday, but some other doctor in the office said that

Max should be in school and that he does not need a note. Even if

he did, no one will write it until Dr. Rosh returns.

I had a fit. I totally lost it. Max cannot go to school because he

is ruminating/hiccuping all the time. He also throws up at

unexpected moments, sometimes barely making it to the bathroom on

time. Then, the kids at school start getting annoyed with him for

making these noises and he gets stressed which starts the cycle all

over again. I told this nurse that this was unacceptable and that

he needs the note now so that he can start home instruction

immediately. She said the drs. there said no. I told her that she

and that staff are responsible for my son not getting the education

that he needs and is entitled to because of their stubbornness and

unwillingness to work with us. Max IS willing to go to school for

the first three periods of the day (small classes, great teachers)

but he cannot handle the full day. The nurse will only turn him

around and send him back home again.

Then I told her that I had spoken to Dr. Yusef over the weekend and

HE wanted to start Max on Zelnorm this week - tomorrow to be exact.

I wanted her to call in the prescription today so that I could have

the med for tomorrow morning AND because tomorrow is MY holiday and

I don't want to have to go to the store to get it. She said okay.

Next, I called my husband and told him what happened. He called the

GI office and let them have it. Basically he said he will call them

in the morning and show up in the afternoon to pick up the note. No

ifs, ands, or buts.

Okay, things are looking up a bit, right? Well, I went to the drug

store and they never called in the Zelnorm!!!! Let me get this

straight.... The drs. there are saying Max CAN go to school, but

they are NOT giving him the MEDS that he needs to get better so that

he can go! It's bad enough that Dr. Rosh would not start Max on

antibiotics right away in case he test positive for the H Pylori

infection (we could stop it if it's negative), but the EXPERT in

rumination in that office recommends Zelnorm to help him and they

don't call it in for Max.

I've had it. It's my holiday and now I have to spend it tomorrow

calling all over the place, fighting and trying to get meds and a

note for my son. I'm going to call the pediatrician as well and get

her to write a note if I have to. I'll even take Max in to see her

if I can.

But this whole thing is so unnecessary. It's inexcusable. Max has

been through enough. We've been through enough. I don't know what

has happened in that GI office, but things are not as they once

were. I don't know where to turn now.

oh my jodi!!

i cant believe what that office is putting you guys through!! that is

really unacceptable!! try to hang in there!! ((HUGS)) give me a call

if you need to blow off more steam!!

Dear Jodi: So sorry to hear about your problems. Do you keep documentations of

all of this. If not Start. Than i know this is going to sound like a big

challenge but hun you can do it. The next time you State Legislature meets you

need to get in touch with your local representitive and in form them of what is

going on and fight the legislature if you have to but you can get it done.

and i did it here in ND along with the help of some others but we got it

done. I will be more than happy to help you with everything. If every person on

this listserve started taking on thier legislature things would be much easier

for our kids. Don't let them intimidate you. With the help of computors today

you can get alot done. Than once things are moving on a state level thru out

this country than we can work on congress to help fight this fight . Trust me it

is alot of hard work but in the end it is well worth it. When the Governor here

signed the bill and i were fighting for i don't think there was a dry

eye in the room. Plus get the media on your side and keep them involved. We did

and it was on TV, IN all the top Cities newspapers and we didn't stop. You will

be surprised how many people will be upset on how our kids are being treated. I

had a meeting with our State Senator Byron Dorgan and he was outraged at the

lack of Health coverage for our kids. So we have to band together and pardon my

Language, fight like hell if we are going to get help our kids deserve.

Love Sheldon (G-Pa to my Angel Laikyn) and home to stubborn German's and Crazy

Norwegians that don't take no for an answer.

Jodi,

I am so sorry you are having such a hard and frustrating time right

now. I hope you get the answers and you GET THAT NOTE! I hate dealing

with doctors offices soemtimes. Half the time the info. doesn't get

passed on to the right people and you end up fussing and arguing for

nothing! I hope you get to the bottom of this. Like you need more to

deal with right now! Ugh! My heart goes out to you. You can email me

and rant all you need to! ) I'm so with you and behind you.

Hugs to you, my heart friend! )

You know - it's usually a man's voice that gets things

done. Why? I don't know especially when it comes to

the medical field. It shouldn't matter if it's the

husband or wife calling - IT'S A PARENT OF A CHILD!!!

DAMN IT. I hate that.
