Was It Really A Specialist Appointment?!?!

We went off to the asthma specialist appointment one Monday morning, Hubby taking time off work to join us. When I talked to the lady on the phone that set up the appointment she had told that the lady we were to see could help us out with finding a pediatrician for Tornado, all I had to do was tell her what had happened. GREAT!! She told me that she would be able to set up an allergy test for him, to see what triggers his asthma.

We get barely make it there on time, my Hubby likes to leave NO time for mistakes or delays. We are running down the hallways looking for this place. I have to go to the washroom and it is NOT very nice to make a pregnant woman run when she has to go!! We find the room and she is busy so off I run to the washroom. :) Thank goodness she was busy. :)

We get into the room, and a bathroom is bigger than this room. There is nothing for Tornado to do!! (At the Children's Hospital and nothing at all for him to do!!) With that being said he was a very well behaved boy considering the situation.

She could not help us get into a pediatrician. :( She informed us that is EXTREMELY hard to get into one and that if we did it would only be for Tornado's asthma. Why is that ?!?! Because we live in a big stupid city!! (my opinion) She could not set up the allergy testing!! What did she do you may ask?!?! She just went over what asthma was, well we already knew what it was because we both had it as children. The one helpful thing she did tell us was that NO person with asthma should have a cough suppressant!! Also, even as an adult you should still use a chamber because without it you are only getting 5% of the dose!! SO there you have it our appointment with the so called specialist. Don't get me wrong she was very well educated on asthma BUT it was not what we were told this appointment was all about.

In the end we felt robbed of our time and Hubby should of went to work!! Now we sit and wait to be called by the Asthma Specialist she referred us too. I hope this one can help us out more with Tornado's asthma and not just asthma in general. Only time will tell.
