DD3 has been very ill for 2 years now with a long-term condition. Her paediatrician has been fantastic, very caring and has always encouraged me to phone her whenever I have needed to. Last year sometimes this was once a week or more at DDs worst, but now has reduced to just when necessary. I dont phone unless I need her. (phoned twice this year before this latest attempt at contact)
Phoned 4 weeks ago and asked her to phone me. One week later, after a frantically worrying week I phoned and she had gone on holiday. Fair enough! So phoned DD3s specialist consultant who is hundreds of miles away. She answered some of my queries, thankfully.
Local Paed's secretary said she would leave her a message to phone me when she returned from hols. Another week later and still no call. Left another message yesterday asking her to phone me. Still nothing.
So, now. Do I start getting cross and nagging? Or do I just give up and go through this alone, which is incredibly scary! Do you think she is deliberately not answering my calls? We had always got in really well. Sometimes she has taken a few days to get back to me, but never this long and never have I needed to phone her so many times to get her to respond.
Opinions please. I dont want to be a nag!!
