New Doctor

Two days ago Henry had his first appointment with Dr. Susan Sickler, a local doctor who specializes in internationally adopted children--http://willowbendpediatrics.com/. She is starting at square one--redoing even the tests that were supposed to have been done in Vietnam. I feel really good to be in her hands. She seems very positive and competent.

We went yesterday to see Dr. An, a gastro-enterologist--http://www.dhat.com/physicians/An/an.asp. He does not seem to think Henry has any problems absorbing food, but they are doing tests to check for parasites and other problems anyway.

Next week we visit Dr. Mehendale--http://entfrisco.com/. Henry has bad ear infections now, and we need to just have a general examination to make sure everything is okay.

We return today to Dr. Sickler's office and again on Monday. It is a long way to drive, at least two hours and sometimes in heavy traffic. But it is worth it to feel that we are finally in the hands of someone who knows about the issues Henry faces.

Last night we went to the pharmacy to get Henry's fourth prescription for anti-biotics. This one is for the upper respirtory

Last night we went to a pharmacy to get Henry's fourth prescription for an anti-biotic. This is to clear up the ear infections and upper respirtory infection that no doubt causes Henry to have headaches and trouble catching his breath.
