...chronicling my mother's battle to live with liver disease and raising awareness of hepatic encephalopathy, together.

New doctor(?)

In just over an hour, we have the first appointment with a new doctor in a new group.  I have all the paperwork (medical history, medication list, referrals we need switched over, goals for this appointment and the upcoming ones). This doctor has good reviews on vitals.com, so I'm cautiously optimistic that he'll be willing to treat Mom and see this as an opportunity to be team leader. With the secondary caregiver and I as Mom's advocates, I hope he will see that he would not be solely responsible for her treatment and follow-through and that we can improve her quality of life together. Go Team Kathy? Wish us luck! <3
