[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 207901, member: 1233"] First of all, trust your instincts. They are there for a reason. YOur instincts seem to be telling you very strongly that something is wrong with your child. Believe them, NOT the doctor who spends 5-10 mins every month or three. Second, FIRE this doctor. If he won't do even the referrals he says he will do,then he sure isn't worth the payment. It would be worth the extra time and gas $$ to drive her to a pediatrician or family doctor in a nearby town. He seems to think HIS opinion is the only one that matters, when HE is NOT the expert in behaviors OR in YOUR BABY. I think both you AND the teacher should keep daily behavior journals. Even one that goes back and forth. I also think you need to get "on the list" at children's Mercy, and call weekly about cancellations. It takes quite a while on the waiting lists, and you don't want to put off getting on that list any longer. The FAQ section of this forum has a thread about a Parent Report. I think it would be an EXCELLENT idea to start one. It is a report that you write about your child, then you can take it to the various docs, the school, etc and have all theinfo at your hand. I found it invaluable, as have many others. Here is a (((hug))) to help you through all this. I am sorry the day was so rough. [/QUOTE]
