Sounds great! Don’t lose hope. Our doc is great, and has constantly been telling me “no, that’s not it”, when I’ve had my doubts. Stick to your beliefs. He only sees Shane for a few minutes a visit, and you live with him. If he doesn’t agree, maybe you can try a different route. I don’t know much about your medical system, so maybe someone else can make some suggestions.
Please don’t beat yourself up. It’s very hard trying to juggle everything, especially when you’re dealing with dietary restrictions. We found a dietician to be somewhat helpful in suggesting ways to make sure that she was getting enough.
HUGS. (And happy b-day Shane!!!)
