We have been trying for 2 days now to get Chantaye in to see another dr, but everywhere we turn we are getting rejected for one reason or another. We called the oncologist that was suggested and he won't see her unless she is actually diagnosed with cancer, they said to take her to an ear, nose & throat guy, why is beyond me! so we call the oncologist I used to see, unsure if he sees children or not, well he is gone on some sort of leave, his office is closed and they will notify patients when he returns *sigh*, we call another oncologist here and she doesn't see children at all! grrr So we call this ear guy, the first appointment they have is like the 7th, we go ahead and accept the appointment just in case we can't get in anywhere else. I get online at the insurance site, there are no openings with an ear guy in the next county until like May, no oncologists at all down there, but I did find another one up here we didn't know about, so we call this guy, they called back before we could even fax her blood results and told us to get her to a surgeon, and to forget the ear guy. We then called the dr that has done 2 or 3 surgeries on me and other members of my family, they said they don't know if he will see her since she's only 9, but they will call us back, now this was yesterday at like 12 or 1, I didn't expect to hear from them until this morning, because they don't discuss new patients with him until like 5, but here it is after 2 today and still no return call! Greg will call them again tomorrow to force the issue, we are actually tempted to make the appointment for me and just go on and take her! I mean wtf is wrong with all these people not wanting to treat children? I mean I could understand if it was a little child, but great day in the morning she's 9! The lump has not gone down at all and Chantaye has started asking me if it's ever going to go down or leave, what can I tell her when I can't get any sort of answer from a dr.?
One tid-bit of good news..on the school bully thing...the lil snot got sent to the principal and he recieved a paddling, and has been informed if he doesn't back off and leave the girls alone he will get one each time he bothers them in the future! his little friends then apparently tried to start problems with the other little girl that stands up for herself, and when she didn't back down and then told the teacher they went after 'Taye, well she went straight to the teacher this time too (finally!) and now the friends are on thin ice with the principal too, so apparently it's gonna take some toughness from Mr. W to convince these boys that they need to back off. I asked if she had problems with anyone on Wednesday and she said no, that everyone tended their own business and left her alone, so hopefully we have one problem finally taken care of.
Thank you all for the sweet emails! I apologize for falling behind again, I finally slept yesterday, last night and then again today. If I manage to stay awake tonight after I get the kids all situated and taken care of I will get back in emails then, I haven't forgotten anyone, I promise! it's just hard to keep my mind on the task at hand right now.
