I also work at Cook Children's and I too have a child who has to see the Dietitians in the GI Clinic. I have written angry letters 2 separate times re: not only the dietitians there but the whole GI clinic staff! With the exception of the wonderful GI doc you reference (from Africa), we have had an awful time with them. If you can, e-mail me who you switched to and if you saw an allergist in FW b/c we may be headed that direction too. Thanks!

Seriously, I know my situaiton is way different but a big part of our job is advocating for our kids and sticking up for them. <br /><br />I used to take notes because I would have so many people talk to me throughout the day at the hospital. One morning at 6am a tech came by to draw blood for Caydence. Harmless enough but that was not the plan the docs and I had talked about the night before. Turned out the tech was in the wrong room. Seriously people. Seriously! Makes me sad for the kiddos that don;t have parent with them 24/7 in the hospita.steph bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421888279434388266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079198385327632755.post-2288700503632420432012-01-26T23:34:11.072-06:002012-01-26T23:34:11.072-06:00Chasity,

He pioneered research & development of intravenous hyperalimentation, and back in the 60s began working with a lot of pre-mature babies. Anyway, back then they gave the babies soybean oil thinking it was good, but as it turned out it had an inflammatory response (and apparently still does). He found that when they gave the babies Omega 3 fatty acids (fish oil), the babies improved dramatically. I just thought I'd pass this along to you since you were discussing the fats for D's diet. <br />There is nothing more annoying than when someone, especially a "medical professional" acts like they know better than you do when it comes to what is good for your baby. Their advice/knowledge can be beneficial, but NO ONE knows better than mama! You should certainly stand your ground like you did and find someone with more compassion. I had to deal with stuff like that a lot when Ben was a baby with all his allergies and vaccine reaction; we have a much better Pediatrician now! It's good and necessary that you vent so you can get feedback and the support that you need. You did good today; I'm sorry it was such a frustrating day. Dominic is so blessed that you are his mommy!Judy Spurgeonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079198385327632755.post-34269941678485193922012-01-26T22:27:57.679-06:002012-01-26T22:27:57.679-06:00Chasity, you vent all you want!

I know the medical establishment sometimes has an iffy definition of food, so I am so happy you are standing your ground. Don't feel like a bitch - it is her problem... sounds as if she is being so immature. Switch if you can! You don't need anymore stress... You are doing a fabulous job from what I see on these blogs (which I always ready when you post). Thank you for sharing D's story with us so candidly.Jolee Burgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09292394490453403286noreply@blogger.com
