How to Handle the Doctors Office

This morning Jacob had his third follow up since leaving the hospital. The doctor has decided it is time for him to see a ENT. His ears look worse this week than last week. 

Not that you could tell by looking at these pictures but his ears are infected again. 

I don't know about you but I tend to make early morning appointments. This appointment was for 7:45. The earlier the better. It helps that the office is not busy, the nurses are not over whelmed and my children are not tired. I also try to be prepared. I brings snacks and a drink. Even for myself. I bring crayons and let the kids color on the papers that are on the beds. 

And I try to write my questions down because I know I will forget them once I am there. This morning I only had one extra with me. I don't mind taking them all but it is easier to listen when we go alone.
