Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Ah this reminds me of a funny story. When Adam was 2-3 years old and I was taking him to specialist after specialist after specialist to figure out " what was wrong " I had compiled a typed sheet listing all his milestones (I was tired of answering " how old was he when he held his head up, how old was he when he spoke his first word etc). I figured it was a good thing to save these doctors a lot of time by providing them with this information. I gave this list to the psychologist who first did an assessment on Adam. She ended up deciding I was NEUROTIC because I had all this information ready to give her! She even put it in her report that many of Adam's problems stem from my being NEUROTIC!! And when questioned, she based that assumption solely on my providing that list to her! UGH some days you can never win!!! Debby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Too funny debby. I never really did a baby book (bad mom I guess) but on my computer at work I have a list of everything as well for both and Kelli. In fact for it's obviously longer because every ear infection or UTI or procedure or anything, especially news received a specialists, is on this list. I remember our first visit with Dr. H, I brought my binder which I started a year ago which is separated by all the different things going on. Luckily I brought it because the copy I mailed to Yadira was not put in her file that day. So here I am with Dr. H, her assistant and my binder and list, which I made an extra copy for them. Her assistant was so happy because it cut down on her trying to talk to me and Dr. H trying to type at the same time and collect all of 's information.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Debby, I was smiling when a read your message, because I had the same experiences, one do tend to get tired to explain your childs condition and all the medical related conditions. I also compiled such a list mainly for when my child was admitted in hospital. Every single person who entered the room had to ask the same qeustions, so i thought, supply them with all the information and they can read it themselves. One tend to forget all the medical detail over the years. I think that we are beutifull neurotic mom's. Mother of Visser South-Africa --- Deb wrote: > Ah this reminds me of a funny story.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 LOL Elize I agree with Jodi, we are " beautiful neurotic moms " I don't know if you were on the group several years ago when I had to take Adam to emergency because he had put silly putty on his penis and couldn't get it off, so the " super " mom that I am.........rubbed it off with rubbing alcohol (BAD MISTAKE); only to have my son refuse to pee for over 24 hours because it burned. I was frantic, and took him to emerge and every nurse and doctor that came in the room kept saying " he has what? Silver Syndrome? What's that? " And I would say " it's a growth disorder, but look my kid is in pain what can you do? " and they would say " tell me about this Silver Syndrome " and I was like " FORGET THE RSS! My kid can't pee!!!!!!!! " Oh everyone had a good laugh when I told that story, but I have had my fair share of problems with the medical community. So from now on I am going to use " beautiful neurotic mom " as my mantra (I should even get a t-shirt!)
