The Consultation Appointment

Yesterday our pediatrician told us that someone from her office would make our referral appointment with Lucy's specialist, Dr. Wood.

She told us the appointment would be for today or Monday at the latest.

The appointment is for Tuesday, September 22.

So I'm obviously not happy about that.

Apparently my pediatrician was mistaken.  The appointment didn't need to be that immediate.  The surgery for her condition needs to take place somewhere between 4 and 6 months of age.  Lucy is currently 4 1/2 months.  But she will be almost five months by the time that appointment rolls around.

Talk about cutting it close.

But we're already having to overbook Dr. Wood just to get in by September 22 so I'm just not sure what else I can do to speed things along.  Apparently craniofacial surgeons are in hot demand in the Twin Cities.

So begins the waiting game...
