in love with new ped!!

we finally had our appt. with the new pediatrician today.. she knew we were coming there for more than a wellness check up , ive spoken to her through email for the last few weeks. and she was very aware that i still strongly felt Rylee is on the spectrum. She spent over and hr with us!!!! i was blown away, i mean literally blown away. she actually got comfy and sat on the exam table just chatting with me.. she even had Ry walk up and down hallways so she could see how severe her toe walking really was! shoes and no shoes!! she would ask questions like "rylee i hear you have two cats, do you know their names?" and all rylee could do was spell c-a-t, even though i know she knows their names! the Dr. gave me no definite answer today, she just said she see's everything i see (anxiety, sensory, delayed social communication), and said she'd be back in touch with me by the end of the week with a plan of attack! YAY, like i could do cartwheels right now im so excited haha. This is the first time in over

Amy,
that ped sounds liek a real find! I am very happy for you. A doc like that is worth their weight in gold.

Please let us know what the plan of attack is when you know.
