This morning, we took Gavin to the Riley office located at the Gateway campus. Because there are no pediatric dermatologists in Evansville, we had to do a teleconference where the doctor was on the tv and we could talk to him. We had a hard time finding the place and it seemed as if nothing was going our way this morning. We had a long wait because we were the last ones to check in. Before seeing the doctor, we had to fill out paper work, they weighed Gavin, and took pictures of his hemangiomas. Gavin weighs 13 pounds 10 ounces!! He is a growing boy! He was good as gold and kept talking to the nurse while she was taking the pictures. When we finally got to speak with Dr. Lewis, he pretty much told us there was nothing he could do without seeing him in person. He referred us to see Dr. Haggstrom and said that we actually need to come to the Riley campus in Indy. She is also a pediatric dermatologist but she specializes in hemangiomas. They set-up the appointment before we left for June 21st. I was glad that I will be out of school at that time and won't have to take more time off. Brian and I were a little frustrated because we kind of feel like it was a waste of our time. He took the whole day off to keep the kids, I missed 2 hours of school, and we still don't have any of our questions answered. Oh well...we just want what's best for our little guy! We did take Macie with us and she did very well considering how long we were there. In fact, the nurse commented on how well behaved she was and praised me for having two young kids so close together. I think her exact words were, "Better you than me," followed by "It will be great in a few years". We just have to make it there first!!!
I'll keep you posted on how he's doing...
