Dr. K appt/WHITE PAPER

[thereishope]

The RF connection is what helped persuade my ped to give proph antibiotics. That and she made a few phone calls to local hospital to get their opinion (when she told me that, I thought for sure it was a big fat NO again considering I can only guess whom she spoke with) and now they are saying peds can give it on a case by case basis. Two years ago, that wasn't the case. It worries me to see the tide changing in my area for the good and I just worry about the possibility of it sliding back. If that happens, I just don't know how we could fix it all over again. I guess we have no choice but to wait and see what this paper will say. Maybe we're all worrying for nothing (fingers crossed).

I find it hard to believe that Dr. L would let a white paper come out that does not recommend antibiotics for a long time. She has a lot of influence and pull. I know that she is involved in it.

 

I would also consider the white paper a work in progress. It may not be perfect but it is a start. I am sure that it will evolve. Once the white paper is printed I believe there will be many more publications to follow. The doors will be open.

 

Pandas will not be taboo anymore. It will be a hot topic for discussion and research. This is all a very good thing. Whatever the paper says, it will be a really good start.
