To cut or not to cut??? That is the Question

Okay, so here is an update from last week's issue. We took Bailey to this Pediatric Specialist on Wednesday and basically felt like we were wasting this doctor's time. We drove an hour to see this specialist, mind you, only for her to walk in the room, and without even introducing herself, be rudely asked why we were there. I told her what the issue was and with merely glancing at my daughter's tummy, she automatically knew there was nothing wrong with Bailey. (Wow, she must really be special with x-ray vision and all...she didn't even touch Bailey). So anyways, after leaving the doctor's office, neither myself or Chris had peace about the outcome of the visit, so we're getting a second opinion. I called her pediatrician and told them what was going on, only to find out that her actual pediatrician is out of the office until November. So, off to find a new pediatrician (because she's the only ped. in this particular office). I called the doctor we had originally wanted to try as Bailey's doctor (until we met Dr. Drab at the hospital), and come to find out, she's in the same practice...just a different office. So we won't have to do anything special, just show up to the new doctor's office for a second opinion. Hopefully all will go well. Basically, if the new doctor says all is well, we'll take it as a scare from the original doctor, if she is hesitant, we'll most likely have some tests run and get a deeper look at what might be the bubble in Bailey's tummy. I hope this wasn't too confusing and all over the place, but my mind is reeling right now thinking maybe something is wrong and maybe it's just fine. GRRR!!! I hate doctors, sometimes I feel like I know more than them, but then I realize, I don't have the degree, so I'll just have to trust them. So, that's the current update.

Chris is supposed to take Bailey for some pictures today, so I might see about scanning them and putting them on the blog. Talk to you all later (oh and by the way, she hums to herself...partially because Chris and I sing to her all the time...and partially because I think she comes by it naturally). Talk to you later!
