Irritated!

So let me begin by giving a little background. It started about 2-3 weeks ago. Blake had two nights where he woke up about 5 different times in the middle of the night doing a cry that is not very familiar. Both times he had not fallen asleep on his bed and I had to wake him up to get him to his bed...so I thought this was the problem. However, the last two nights he has woken up multiple times from 12 am on and he has started in his bed so I now know that the whole bed thing isn't the problem. Last night was horrific. He woke up every 5 minutes even AFTER I brought him in our room and made him a little bed there. On Sunday night when he kept waking up he told me he was afraid of the fire and that he couldn't save Rylee. Last night, he said "I just couldn't make it mom, I tried but I couldn't. And then he woke up every 5 minutes doing a very abnormal kind of cry. I talked to his teacher at school today to see if anything was happening at school. She said that he is sooo well behaved but she mentioned that he took her aside today and told her of the bad dream he had last night too. So obviously this is bothering him and things.

Anyways, the part that was irritating to me...Because of his sleep problems and other signs of anxiety, I decided to call the doctor to try and get him in today. ( We got a new doctor starting in January, but non of us have needed to see him yet, so we've never called or gone in). This was the conversation

"Hi, I'd like to make and appointment..blah blah blah

"What's his name?' she then got all his info from me

then said, "well, since he is a new patient we do not have any openings until the end of March, but you can always take him into urgent care if you need to."

"Ummm...ok."

"well, what does he need to be seen for?"

I then told her what the problem was

"Oh, well looky here. It looks like there was a cancelation for tomorrow at 1:40. will that time work for you?'

First of all, don't doctors want new patients? If they do, why in the world would they not let new patients be scheduled for over a month. And she didn't even ask what he needed to be seen for. She just told me he was a new patient and therefore couldn't be seen for 4- 8 weeks. Oh and then by some miracle there was a cancelation and she could fit him in the schedule tomorrow. All while we were on the phone! Idiot!

Anyways, i just needed to vent for a minute. Sorry ladies.

Off to the doctor we go...tomorrow.

please note: I have much more faith in the actual doctor. I was just very irritated my the whole "new patient-can't be seen for over a month thing."
