I think that cars should be made so safe that we do not have to leave our children rear-facing until they're squished up, sick of 45 degree angles, and hating the car altogether.
I think that recalls of child-safety equipment should be so widely publicized that people are thoroughly sick of hearing about them.
I think that I should get free ice cream just because I exist.
I think that the medical profession needs to get its act together and set some freaking standards.
I called our doctor's office today. We see a family doc for N's well baby care. I spoke with the nurse. N's hemoglobin at his one year check came back at 9.6. From my research, that's not too low. Low, yes, but not freakout low. Since N wasn't given a lead test, I called to ask about getting one. I also asked what they considered normal hemoglobin levels to be. They consider them 13-17. For everyone, adults and children. I've heard anything from 10.5-17 being normal. I'm getting frustrated. I talked to a lab tech friend today, and she told me to go with my gut and get him retested. So we're retesting him and going to do a lead test within the next couple of days.
