All Clear

So in August I went to see a Paediatrician with Laura, because she wasn't talking.  I was thinking it would be a quick visit- blah blah blah, hearing's fine, not autistic, start speech therapy type thing like it was for John.

However this Doctor had totally different thoughts- First thing she listens to Laura's heart for 2 seconds and said she has a heart murmur....(I never heard she had one before! CRAP), She's got a big head....(I don't see it!)  She's too pale....she's a redhead, blue eyes....have you met her dad...oh right the doctor didn't!! and she kept asking me if she had any of the autistic tendencies.  Many times she asked me this.

So I had to get her assessed for speech, the therapist was surprised the doctor even thought she might be autistic.  She had to have blood work done (Normal), Hearing test (Normal), eyes examined (Normal) and a dentist appointment (normal).  I totally lost it when i got a call from the doctor's office stating she had to go see the cardiologist.  She had an ultrasound done and it was  a murmur we don't have to worry about at all.   She mentioned also that at this visit we might have to set up ultra-sound of her head...(cause its that BIG)

Well when you look at my daughter you do not think BIG HEAD....  my son on the other hand....we were stoped a couple times by people who commented on how BI|G his head is!!

So today I went to the doctor armed with a note from A Child First- a lady came in to assess Laura while we were at playgroup and observed her at play and listed these observations in a letter she wrote to the said Doctor.  At the appointment today - everything went well...she even apologies that she made me feel that way.  All in all at least i got everything checked out for Laura- and since we are moving it might be a little harder to see doctors and stuff....
