On Monday, 1 December, two days after our arrival in Canada, we went to the pediatric clinic in our region. This service allows the child to receive an initial medical evaluation and appropriate for parents to receive all the information and support necessary to adequately meet the needs of the child. I had an appointment when I knew our arrival and I made an appointment closest to that date, which should ideally be within two weeks after our arrival. The operator had been warned to arrive half an hour to advance to his hospital card and make photocopies of documents.
Once at the Pediatric Clinic , we went to the reception of the hospital for registration and make his hospital card in his name Philippines. Since we had not yet applied for a Medicare card, I handed my card Medicare card (the mother). Then we directed at the front desk of the clinic and have provided the documents relation with his health ( Social carry case study, report presented at the proposal, Health and Medical profile, medical profile and health presented at of the proposal, Adoption Examination deferral ; medical report is before our departure date) so that the nurse make photocopies. Then, the nurse measured the size and the head circumference and took weight of our child.
After we waited in the waiting room that the pediatrician we receive. The pediatrician examined him and asked us questions about our child. We were able to respond as best we could because we were together for only one week. The pediatrician has suggested that we immediately stop the formula and give him cow's milk 3.25% as it was 26 months. So we asked if we should continue to provide vitamins donated by the host family. The pediatrician tells us that if we gave him the 4 food groups, there was no need to give him vitamins. She examined it and we generally disa he appeared healthy, because its growth curves and weight were normal and his vital signs. She will prescribe stool to call the CLSC near our home, as the pediatric clinic was far from our home (We should go with the prescription, because the CLSC we asked. By cons, they have still taken the stool). She handed out containers to collect stool and cautionary us that we would have a phone on receipt of results. What has been done and told us there was nothing unusual. Also, she prescribes a schedule of VACCINNER it would call the CLSC near our home and we cautionary we were to have a phone the nurse responsible for the vaccination of children. Moreover, it gave us a prescription for a blood test we could go to the hospital immediately after the appointment. Before leaving, we made another appointment with the receptionist for the next month. The appointment was for purposes of giving all the results and make the medication if necessary, to check the growth curves and discuss the general evolution of our child and to make improvements where appropriate.
Thereafter, we headed for blood our boy. Meanwhile, the appointment for the blood test, we went to dinner at the cafeteria of the hospital before heading to the Pediatrics Hospital. When it was time for the blood, the nurses filled tubes needed and we were told we could take a dog in the waiting room to give to our son. Also, it gave us a paper Drinking Hat to deposit the urine and we have explained how to do the test and send it by mail. This is the same test required by the government new babies. In
second appointment to the pediatrician, Monday, January 12, we learned that all results were normal and that he therefore had no health problems and adaptation took place normally and very fast. His only discomfort is that he has very sensitive skin and is affected by dry environments. He must be put cream on the body and several times a day for his cheeks turn red and irritated. We have to put a humidifier when the cold, because it tends to bleed from the nose and coughing during the night. Also, the pediatrician did not just medical results, she We also observed, my spouse and me so that our son and found that our son was trying to manipulate us in tears during the exam. It felt secure, because it confirmed my what I assumed.
Because the health of our boy was okay, we decided to show it by my family doctor . Then we saw the pediatrician specializing in international adoption for the last time, six months after the second appointment. The pediatrician concluded that he was healthy and if the family doctor of our boy suspected any problem, he just refer to the her (pediatrician). Then, our visits to the doctor, it has taught us that our boy had a Mongolian spot on the buttocks (lumbosacral area). She released one of his books and explained that it is a task of varying size, gray-blue that appears particularly in infants with dark skin (Asian) at birth or later and disappears in the course of childhood. I too had seen changing his diapers, but I thought it was a blue (bobo).
