So we had a bit of a scare Saturday night, difficult child had been sick with a URI for a few days when his breathing suddenly declined Saturday evening prompting a trip to the ER at 8:30pm. Which long story short, led to him being admitted at 2:30am for having O2 sats < 83%. Again long story short, we were seen on the floor by another pediatrician in our pediatrician's practice whom we've never seen before. In reviewing history, he had some concerns about things that HAVE NOT been looked into further regarding difficult child's psychiatric issues. Namely, the allergy, intolerance and digestive aspects that may or may not play into behavior issues. So we now also have appointments for an upper GI, lower bowel, and more allergy testing. He also did a blood test for celiac, Crohn's and IBD.
I now have to have a dedicated notebook to keep all these appointments organized and the information pertaining to each one handy. It's strange to me that 'holistic' care is coming to us in such piecemeal fashion, but hopefully it all gets us somewhere better than where we are right now...
