Well, it's 9:30 and still no return call from the pediatrician.
I really like my pediatrician generally. He's a wacky old man (as I believe all pediatricians should be) and he wears a bowtie and acts like a fool whenever we come in. While it's a little strange now, I know that his jokes are just the kind of thing kids love.
He's a D.O. which is a little more up our little hoemopathic alley.
He's extremely laidback and is never alarmist.
Right now, however, I HATE him.
Why won't he just call me back, for the love of God? I know that he is probably looking at a perfectly normal CT scan and thinking, Good. Nothing to be worried about. But see, the thing is? I cannot hear his internal monologue so I continue to worry.
Plus both grandmas are calling finding out how "their" baby is. (Don't even get me started on that.)
I don't want to make a pest of myself, because I know the nurses can't do anything until the doctor releases the information, but I also kind of think the squeaky wheel gets the grease, you know?
Anyway, today's Andiclaus' day off work, so I expect we'll get some housework done and hopefully I'll also get a little bit further on those damn blankets.
There are very few pictures of Alliclaus up here lately. It's not because her head is the size of a hot air balloon, I promise. I'm just a lazy mom.
I don't think a daily, polite call would be making a pest of yourself. I think you could even kick it up a notch and make it a "one in the morning, one in the mid-afternoon" routine. The key is to just be polite with a "hey, just wondering what's going on" kind of call.

I'll call for you!?! No news is good news with most doctors - that seems to be a good sign, however; very frustrating for you.

Have you called them yet? I would be harassing them for details. Please be sure to tell us when you hear--we all want to make sure that she is AOK.

I think it is perfectly okay to keep calling. Sometimes things slip through the cracks and results arn't given when they should. I had to wait 2 months for my AFP results when they should have been done in 2 weeks! But that's because the doctor's office lost them. Anyways, keep calling until they give you the results or some better idea of when the results will be available.

I would call too. I want to know that little Alliclaus is okay.
Just wanted to know I am thinking about you!
Darn doctor. He better call already.

Why is it these Dr's do these things, I mean come on! making a parent wait like that is nasty.
P.S. I saw these pics of baby Suri Cruise yesterday and thought wow she looks like your little Alliclaus, am I crazy??
