On top of all the speicalists, there are the easy routine doc visits, right, like the dentist. Wrong!! One of dd's 6 yr molars never came down and now the dentists wants us to consult with an oral surgoeon! Really??? Come on, can't we catch a break.

The endoscopy did reveal allergic esophagitis. The allergist can't find what it is that's causing the heartburn so she's on inhaled flovent. And now this. So far our team consits of Endocronolist, Allergist, Pulmonologist, Gastroenterologist, Opthamologist, Pediatrician, Dentist, and Oral Surgeon. And that's just for DD, b/c DS has a whole other set of issues. If you see a wild haried women up on a ledge somewhere, that'l be me. :eek:

I'm just so tired. I mean, I know it could be worse, but geesh, it could be better.

OK, I'm done whinning.

I hear ya and if you don't mind, I'd like to add a little whine myself!

I just got home from the dentist with the boys. Sam is doing fine - no cavities, so great.

Tyler on the other hand is turning into a real money drainer! His teeth have been ground down so much he needs a mouth guard for sleeping. (Ka ching!):(
He too has one baby tooth (at 15!!) that has an adult tooth mucking about beneath it to the point that the baby tooth is now infected and the nerve is dead but the adult tooth is showing no sign of being willing to break through. So now our choices are pulling the baby tooth and then getting him lower braces (Ka-ching!) or cleaning out the baby tooth and letting nature take it's course!:(

And of course, we are so made of money - NOT!:( I told the dentist if it comes down to a choice of braces or insulin and D supplies, there would be no contest!

Hope things start looking up for you soon!
