I think I need to break up with DD's doctor...

We go to a family practice.  Myself, DH and DD all go to the same doctor, whom I LOVE!  Unfortunately the office hours just aren't what I need them to be.   I ended up having to take DD to urgent care over the weekend for a pretty sever upper respritory infection.  So, with this prelude to the fall/winter germ season coming up, I think I need to find someone that has night and weekend hours.

I feel terrible.  Our doctor has been SO great with DD.  She even gave myself and Dh her personal cell number in case there were any issue when we first brought DD home from the NICU. 

I don't want to do it, but I can't afford to take a lot of time off work this winter for Dr appointments.

    YOu guys will still go, right?  I would think that she would understand that you need more flexiblity right now and that you will probably bring her back once she gets older and these continuous colds become less frequent.

    Absolutely this - and since it seems like you have a good relationship established w/ her already, could you maybe discuss your worries about scheduling appts w/ her and get her recommendation for someone to use for your DD that may have hours that work a bit better?  It sounds like she's likely to be understanding, at the least!

     I am very conflict avoidant, so it is going to be hard for me to have this conversation with her.  But, like you said, I do think she'll be very inderstanding.  DH and I intend to stay with the practice and hopefully when DD outgrows some of her issues we can move her back.

    Oh me too, so I can totally understand your anxiety about it. GL, like pastors wife said, if you ask her for a referral it probably would make her feel good.
