hey everyone
so thanks very much for all your posts again..........you must be sick of my grumbling by now - (esp those of you on my first and second birth threads)
so today went SOOOOOOOOOO much better - the dr is actually a child psychiatrist some of my clients see but i had not yet met him - he was EXCELLENT!!! What a difference!!
He discussed Logans whole history with all the illness', rashes, trouble sleeping, what is happening now - his behaviour - how my pregnancy went with him etc., etc., etc.,GREAT!! He was awesome with Logan and very patient to sit and listen to me.
I don't think he wanted to carve the other dr but did say 10mg's of Amitryptiline was too much for a child
......He said they do sleep studies on babies as young as 8months old - and they are doing one on him to rule out sleep apnea - said it sounds as though from his symptoms he suffers from night terrors and nightmares and insomnia - but insomnia is often a symtpom of something else - so we rule out the apnea and then go from there......
he did say logans odd bowel movements sound often like what he see's with a gluten allergy (wheat)
thank you holly and chloe's mom for your input as well - it is def like torture what we are going through......and i know my tension is transferred to the kids so i am doing my best - unfort we don't have much fam here at all
dr did say i could keep on with the benadryl as a sleep aid for now if it didn't make him excitable and approved a larger dosage...........
re: the dr - i will make a complaint to the assoc of physicians etc, here but recept told me the dr had other complaints and the patients reported back that nothing ever really came of them........oh well - word of mouth (not slanderous of course) travels fast so i can use that if someone discuss the issue with me.......
on the brighter side of things - my 7 week old slept from 10pm last night and I had to wake her at 7:30am!!! no feeding in the night!!!!???
