Visit to the doctors

Our doctors here have been excellent and Annika's current doctor, Dr Aguelo pediatrician is very much in that mould....professional, caring, thorough and very nice. Sure, at times they get busy and we need to wait for the doctor, but when you see their workload, some small inconveniences are no problems.

Annika has been (touch wood) remarkably healthy but we have been to the doctor loads, mainly for inocculations....but also for check up at the same time and good to get medical opinions for small issues of concern, like feeding and like alergies that Annika has but we haven't bottomed this issue out yet and it only seems to be a skin blotching problem.

Annika gets weighed and measured on every visit and its great to see her progress, in the photos shown she reached 8kgs, and that's 8kgs of solid baby girl.

The system here for medical appointments is good, basically you just pitch up at the doctors if you have anything wrong and take it from there. For Ann when she was pregnant (buntis here) and now for annika she has her own doctor and so appointments are scheduled for the future at the time of the current visit.

The doctors receptionist (pictured) links the doctor to the patients and is inevitably like this girl a lovely person who seems to care, sure they do....

pictured is the hospital, very local to us, 7th day adventist hospital (no idea what that religion is all about) and then the doctors reception room and then a quick one of doctor Aguelo examining Annika, confirming how lovely she is, Annika not the doctor, but she is nice too.
