I officially changed my dc doctor's office today. I changed AnaMaria and Wizdom a few months ago and waited to change Xander because of his health issues. I wanted to make sure it was the right choice first. Well I have fallen in love with this Doctor and I love the way she runs her practice. Where I was before was great at first when my older children were younger, but as time has passed and they grew more and more popular it has become really hard to get an appointment. There have been times where I have been there with Xander wheezing and have had to wait for 1/2 an hour to an hour to see a doctor. They have taken on way to many patients and even when you are in with a doctor it seems they are rushing to get you out so that they can see another patient. This new doctor really takes her time with you, bonds with the children (love that) and answers any and every question you may have. She respects how I feel about medication and takes the time to see if there is any alternative before prescribing something. If she does prescribe something, she takes the time to explain why and still gives me room and time to weigh my options. I am really happy with her.
For those of you who invited me to join The Homeschool Lounge thank you so much. I really love that site. For those of you who have not checked it out, you might want to go and see what all the hoopla is about. Really amazing people, great chats, and a lot of really good information from woman who really believe in family, family values the way the Lord intended us to, and homeschooling. I am placing a Button for you to Link from on this page, but you may also click on the words The Homeschool Lounge.
I really don't need another place to hang out.. I spend too much time on the internet as it is! Lol
Glad you like this new Dr. By the way, a 30 minute wait for a Dr is pretty good around here.. it's the 2 hour wait that gets me, especially seeing as I only go when we're really sick. Last time there were 7 of us, sick sick sick. He gave us antibiotics, we all remained sick sick sick for another 7 days.. I'm sure the rest of the people in the office wished we hadn't sat there for 2 hours being sick around them!
Thank you for the nice comments, you are so sweet. Finding a good doctor is such a nice thing, glad you found one.
When Anna was smaller, we have waited as much as over an hour or more, on weekends during the winter months. It seemed that every child in Dayton was sick at the same time as she was.
I will e-mail you the stuff you have asked me
About HS Lounge, I hear from everyone it's wonderful, but for now, I am letting it pass by me, I am afraid it will be a huge addiction to me, I tend to be addicted to things LOL :)
It's been hard for me to deblog my self from blogging (LOL, is this a correct term? Deblogging my self?) LOL :O)
Keep in touch,
((((Brazilian hugs)))

I am glad you found a great doc! I know what a comfort that is. In the military, we take what we can get. If it's a good one, they are gone before long.
Blessings,

When my youngest son, Xander 3, became ill I decided to quit my job to stay home with him. I never would have imagined the journey our Lord would take us on since then. We have decided to keep our two older children home and homeschool all of them. Our children are AnaMaria 14, Wizdom 11, and Xander 3. I invite you to join us on our journey in our first year of homeschooling. I will be sharing our ups and downs and hopefully receive some advice along the way.
