First thing this morning I called to ask why we were rescheduled by the plastic surgeon’s office to see a different surgeon tomorrow who I found out by looking her up on the web is actually a neurosurgeon. Strange. They only told us after the appointment was cancelled because of the power shortage that Dr. Mulliken (big name in cranio-facial surgery) thought this other surgeon more apropriate. As it turns out we were referred to this neurosurgeon because “Dr. Mulliken is concerned about the back of her skull”. That is news to us and we don’t know what is going on.
I’m starting to get really worn out by all this calling around to different doctors and everyone of them needs a referral from the Primary Care Physician! Otherwise, Mary, our part-time nanny is working out well (like a dream actually). She seems very good with Ella – especially at giving her baths and cleaning her neck rash. This apparently comes from sweating between the folds in her skin there. It is very red and oozes. Apparently this is baby stuff common between 2 and 4 months.
