Redefining MommyhoodJourney of a mom whose son is overcoming hypotonia

We are still waiting on a few of the genetic tests from our neurologists office. I called the nurses last week and left a message, but of course no one ever called me back. Today, I got a call from their office to change our second follow-up appointment. While I had the girl on the phone I asked about the tests. She put me on hold and another girl came on to tell me that 2 of the genetic tests came back negative. She had to put me on hold again to pull up the other test results from the hospital website. She came back and said that they were in, but a nurse had to call me back. I thought there was only one test left, according to the lab order sheet.

Now I’m freaking out because she couldn’t tell me what it said!!!! UGH! I’m so over dealing with doctors and their staff.

I still don’t understand why we are having a second follow-up appointment either. This time we will actually be graced with the neurologists presence. Our first follow-up was only with a nurse who told us exactly what she told us over the phone 3 days earlier. It was a waste of three hours total driving time! As long as all of the blood tests are fine, I’m tempted to tell them to take their follow-up to the follow-up and stick it where the sun don’t shine! I’m convinced that doctors and insurance companies are in cahoots and just want you to keep coming back so they can pay for their next vacation.
