Knowing when to push
I find myself in uncharted medical territory. IA has been sick ALOT since moving to Ohio and on multiple occassions her lips turn blue. First time it happened she ended up having pneumonia, but her pulse-ox was never low. Weird, right?? The subsequent two time her pediatrician didn't find a cause (other than saying, she has an infection somewhere). I'm frustrated with this answer and frankly her pediatrician. So I'm now in the zone of wondering if I'm being an overly sensitive parent or if any other pediatrician would give me the same (non)answer.
Am I not pushing this hard enough? Do I accept the answer at face value(it's not that I don't believe it could be true...i guess I'm just wondering if it should be taken more seriously). Help friends and relatives...what would you do?

Push away! You are the Mom & know your kids better than anyone else & know if something isn't right. If you're not happy with the DR's answer, get a second opinion!

PUSH!!!! Take it from me as I am going through the same thing. You know your child. You have to take charge of your healthcare and do your own research. Good luck!!
