Today we went to Children's for our first appointment with our new doctor. She specializes in lysosomal storages diseases (including MPS). She was wonderful!! She is familiar with kids who have Sanfilippo and she was so incredibly sweet with the kids. She is obviously competent and is working on setting us up with all of the specialists we need to see and begin to form relationships with. I have spent more time than I care to think about at doctors' offices. I hate waiting all that time to then deal with someone distant and cold. It is a breath of fresh air to meet one who is so "user friendly" (in her words). She gets how difficult it is to bring them to the doctor and she was very careful who to recommend we see. Things are coming together!

I hope sweet, kind, competent doctors know how much they mean to us moms. Truly, they are a godsend.
My doctor is clearly young, maybe a few years out of final classes, but he is so good with questions, and is NEVER rude or condescending. I've been happy with him for two years and will have him care for our new one (Due in Dec.) also. I am 42, so there's an outside chance we could be facing chromosomal abnormalities. We opted not to do any testing.
Still praying....
