I''m not a happy mumma at all

So we have a referral to the ENT for 'HUGE TONSILS' - he believes this is the cause of her tiredness and the horrible circles under her eyes.
They are not infected but are huge in his words (yet this has never been noticed before)

I had to basically FIGHT him to do a blood test as he believes all her other symptoms are things that can be caused by colds etc (but why is she getting these things so regularly)

We do the blood test, not enough blood (my poor girl )

"so what do you want to do now" yes thank Dr very professional, he also threw in a "that's why we don't normally do blood tests on kids this young unless really necessary" .... dig the knife a little deeper.

Talking to the nurse and I mention I'm sick of feeling there is something more to it, a normally healthy child has been sick on and off for about 4 / 5mths now, we live on a property, she gets dirty and plays in mud, has been at kinder for 2yrs and I only now catching everything????
She suggests I follow my gut and just get it checked out, worst outcome is she is healthy and we find out it is really just colds etc.

Dr comes back in "what have you decided" ... REALLY SOME HELP MIGHT BE BLOODY NICE!!!!!

So he organises a referral to a paed, I've tried faxing it and it bounces back, called the number... NO ANSWER!

His referral states I'm worried about low iron due to her being tired & lethargic & having low level fevers, no mention of the headaches, bags under her eyes, blood nose or pale skin.... NOTHING.

So ENT is booked for 4th Sept, I will try again with the Paed tomorrow and I guess we move on from there.... have had a teary today - no onwards and upwards right... figure this s**t out.
