[QUOTE="StressedM0mma, post: 486962, member: 13204"] Went to pediatrician., and it went so well. Our normal Dr. is on vacation, so we saw someone else. She is AWESOME!! difficult child and I both loved her. She took difficult child very seriously. It is the first time it hasn't been dismissed. She ordered bloodwork, but said she would wait until the psychiatrist appointment. So, we will wait. She said that she is almost positive that it will all come back normal. She checked her over completely, and really listened. I almost cried when we were there. No one else seemed to think it was a problem that difficult child needed to sleep 16-18 hours and would still be tired. And, one of the most important things is difficult child finally felt validated. That meant so much to her. That someone looked at her outside of the depression and saw that this is a real issue. difficult child asked when we were leaving if we could switch to her for her pediatrician. all the time. I told her I thought it was a great idea, and I would call to see if she was taking new patients . So thanks to everyone who sent positive thoughts our way. We may not have gotten complete answers, but it is a great first step. And, to the person that said maybe some "fresh eyes" would be good, you were so right. It was the exact thing we needed. Someone without preconceived notions. [/QUOTE]
