So Ivy had her cath today, the one we didn't plan on. Dr. Jerkface (I'm not going to say his real name since I can't stand his freaking guts) said she did fine. They did some things that will make her Glenn procedure a little easier when the time comes in 3 or 4 months. After the cath they said she needed to be in the picu overnight, which we hate. The picu is loud, there's nowhere to sit, and there's nowhere to sleep. If I want to stay over night with her I have to fight other parents for a room, and I am just so sick of being here, that I don't know if I even want to.
Dr. Jerkface said she would probably need to stay a few more days, even though originally he told us that it would be just overnight. When I pointed this out to him he got defensive and said that Ivy would never be normal and we agreed to go along for the ride when we first made attempts to save her. "I know that Dr. Jerkface!!" Can you tell this doctor is not my favorite person.
So anyway, we are in the picu waiting room now, because its shift change and they wont let us in for another hour. We don't know what we are doing tonight, but we are just hoping she can get out of the annoying picu as soon as possible. I guess that's all the frustrations I care to vent out for now. I'm sure I'll have more adventures with Dr. Jerkface to share in the next few days.

So sorry to hear about all the crap you are having to go through. Send my regards to Dr. Jerkface.
I'm sorry that you and Scott have to go through all this frustration, It's just so unfair that nothing went the way it should have. And I wish you could have had a better dr than Dr.Jerkface.You need to save these blogs, so it's like a journal, then many years from now when Ivy is older, she can read about how much her parents love her, and read of all the frustrations you have had to go through and she'll know what great parents she was blessed to have raise her.
We love you ,and hope things get going better soon.
I remember having my own version of Dr. Jerkface. At the time I hated her, looking back now she is the first person I ever stood my ground to and I am glad that she was such a beast because it taught me a valuable lesson. Maybe there is a reason you have your Dr. Jerkface or maybe it is just bad luck, either way I hope it will be over soon and you will get to take care of Ivy in the comfort of your own home as you know you are fully capable of doing. Good Luck.
I can't believe he actually said that to you! Like you need a reminder of such a commitment. That's why you were all prepared and ready to go for her surgery when they just decided to fly by the seat of their pants! Anyways, good luck:)
Oh man you guys, I'm so sorry, I can't believe you can not kill him. He would be dead right now if it were me. You are alot lot stronger then me cause I would have exploded on him. It sucks you are having such problems with Dr. Jerkface. Stand your ground, you are her parents and you know best!!
I dont have sufficient words. So I will just say. I love you guys, stay strong.
i'm so sorry about all the drama!!! yuck! i'm glad she's doing well though.
Have you always hated your dr, or is this a new jerky side to him? I am so sorry for all of these troubles.
