Loving Abbey 2
Not really a Newbie
So I take another 3 hours out of work today to take difficult child to psychiatrist. The long awaited appointment. We're there for about 20 minutes waiting. (They took my check and all) Then the receptionist calls me up to the counter. She says that the doctor is on the phone and would like to speak with me. He gets on the phone and says that he is terribly sorry but he is out sick today with strep throat (his voice was fine) and somehow our appointment was not in his calander so he didn't call to cancel. (I called and confirmed the time with him on Friday!) I asked if there was another doctor we could see as difficult child is doing very poorly. He said he could call to see and then call back up front to let me know. Another 20 minutes he calls again and says that no one is available to see difficult child. So I say well what am I supposed to do?!? He says well I can make a call to have her evaluation'ed for hospitalization again. I said no, it didn't help at all the first time so I wasn't putting her through that again.
He said that he could see us on Monday morning. I said well can I at least discontinue the adderall (She's lost 3 lbs in one week during a growth spurt and nurse at school also confirms big increased figitiness and she reports possible beginning facial tics) and he said yes, that's fine. But he wasn't willing to make any other adjustments.
I could just scream!!!!! How is anyone supposed to live this way?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Poor Abbey is getting so down on herself, she's asked to just take her old medicine "it's okay if I shake, I just want to be good again", "I ruin everything I touch", "I can't be nice" "I'll never be better again", "I hate everything", etc. I try to stay positive for her but it can hard. Especially when she was dumping water on the bathroom floor this morning in protest of getting out of the tub! Home based won't start for another week (at the clinician's office?!?!?).
I'm going to bed, this day needs to end already....
