Worried

Of course everything is worse at 3am, but was having a bit of a panic while I was sitting there feeding and thinking.

We have 2 tins of Neocate left (not quite a week I dont think) and am still waiting to hear about whether we have to see a paed. I rung the GP the other day and was told its just a waiting game... Not very helpful. Am going to ring back today to get them to ring and get me some emergency tins! Cos by the time they arrive I would probably have run out. I know I can get some more off my lovely friend, but dont want to rely on them too much. Every time I spill a little bit of powder or when Greer doesnt drink anywhere near the whole bottle I feel rather stressed

Also worried if we have to go see a paed they will want us to try something else first. I am hoping that a strong family history and obvious problems with my breast milk, and her great improvement on the Neocate will be enough.

So what do I do if we cant see a paed for a few weeks, then the # takes a while to come through? There are no private paeds in our DHB, so can I go to a private one in Welly or something? Argh!

OMG! Just got a paed appointment in the mail, but wait for it... on the 9th JULY!!

HAve rung and spoken to the practice nurse, who will speak with the GP when she comes in this arvo. She looked on the computer and there was a number there but she wsnt sure if it was THE number, so it may be that it got signed off and the July appt is a follow up, which would be great but I'm not holding my breath.

oh hugs Aimee. I remeber how stressed and anxious I was when this was happening to us,..and to Andie too. Its horrible worrying about evry scoop, and what will happen if it doesnt get sorted. Surely any Paed would sign of the form beacuse of history, and the symptoms poor wee Greer has already had herslef. Really hope its gets sorted soon.
In the end I camped at the GP office and didnt leave until they had been on the ph to the special authority approval place ( lol cant remeber the real name), and to nutiricia to get tins couriered out. Maybe if they ring it will have more clout and they might be more helpful?

Aimee I have 3 tins here that I'm keeping for bub, they'll be in the post to you tomorrow with the rest of the care package I've been putting together, sorry it took so long, was waiting on the last bits and pieces to arrive here.

Thanks for that Andie, will try and sort something out on Monday and nag Daniel to come with me

Emma - thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Its times like these that I really really love OB, but I guess what goes around and all that...
