So, Tuesday night about 5:15 we realized that we needed to take Shae Bird to the doctor. Her eye was blood shot and goopy and that doesn't usually mean "well". We called her pediatrician.... closed. We called my family doctor.... closed. All of the places nearby were closed. We decide to go to the urgent care center where we had our physical done in order to keep our insurance..... Long story short, we were there about 2 1/2 hours so that Scott could comfortably give a vile of blood. Needless to say we REALLY got to know our nurse, Heather. Well, after Scott filled out the novel size stack of papers to sign Shae in we found out that they don't take our insurance and that the physical was just a contract job. So, we leave with a complimentary list of other offices that may accomidate us such as Chidlren's Healthcare of Atlanta, Gwinnett Urgent Something over off of Peachtree Industrial which will be closed by the time we get there & a few more that were either closed or would be closed by the time we drove the hour to get to them. About this time the doctor came out in the cold rain and asked what happened and apologized. He said he hated seeing sick kids sent away and that if it were his practice he would see her. We thanked him and headed to the japanese market behind the office.
As I was picking out my fave japanese rice Scott and Shae were out in the car. Scott called that same doctors office that we were turned away from to ask what we could do to help Shae if we can't make it to another office in time. It was at that time that Heather, you remember... the nurse we spent over 2 hours with for our physical, picked up the phone and asked us to come back and she would let us in the back door. The doctor wanted to make sure Shae didn't leave without being checked out.
We were SOOOOO grateful!! I never would have expected someone to be so kind.
HUGE BLESSING!!!
