We have a doctor's appointment: ON GOD'S TIME

And God's time just happens to be fast.... I am sooooooo thankful this morning!  I got up and immediately started to call around to the phone numbers my friend Amy Harvey posted on my facebook this past weekend!  They were exactly the phone numbers I needed!  I called tricare and it was so easy to get a second opinion referral!  She told me I could look up a doctor and call back with my option!  So with the information Lauren Hodges posted on my facebook, among other sites, I looked up doctors at Children's National Hospital!  I looked up all of the GI doctors except for the Cheif, Joseph Snyder.  Whom I just assumed I wouldn't be able to get an appointment with.  I called to make an appointment with a lady named Laura... She didnt have an available appointment until mid February.  The lady asked me what was going on, and so I told her.  She then told me that Joseph Snyder had an available appointment on Friday!  I am so excited!  So I snagged it, and then called back tricare.  The lady put him as her referral and said it would take 2-3 business days for it to go through... just enough time until the appointment!  I was telling the lady at tricare about everything and she started crying tears of joy with me!  She was so happy to help me.  At first she couldnt find that doctor, and I told her what was happening.  I told her I dont know if she believes in God, but this was an answer to prayer.  I felt the Spirit moving in me to say that to her.  Her attitude immediately changed, and this is when I proceeded to tell her why this was so special to me and Grace!  Then we cried together!  God has been showing me that He is taking care of Grace.  She also has an appointment on Friday with the allergist on post at 1pm, just enough time to get back and go to both appointments!  when looking on the site, they even had Esohiphillic diseases as one of the things listed that they treat!  I feel so blessed that God has allowed this all to work out so smoothly!  I am so thankful!  Now prayers that the doctor will look past her smily chubby cheeks (and think nothing is wrong) and see the pain she is in, and work QUICKLY to figure out what is going on with my sweet little baby!

By the way here is an update on Grace:  the past two days she has been waking up at night (which is a way I can tell her stomach is hurting).  Yesterday she had two bottles during the day and one in the middle of the night.  She is keeping sweet potatoes down and her stools have started to harden up.  She is not really wanting to eat, but her symptoms are subsiding.  Last night when I was feeding her her bottle, she actually shrieked in pain.  So the elecare is still hurting her tummy... She isn't wanting to sleep a lot and pretty whinny during the day... Hopefully this will all be able to be managed with this doctor!
