Doctors tomorrow, what we pay out taxes for!!!

Since he was born Billy has had ingrowing toe nails, I asked when he was born about them and by both the hospital and our health visitor i was told they would get better and they never have. About 2weeks ago i notice a crack the whole way down one of his nails and that there we signs of blood, so tomorrow we are off to the doctors and i will move hell and high water to make them do something about this now because i don't want him to have this problem all his life, failing that we WILL (Tosh you reading) go private and see a specialist.


I have been reading Hannah's Blog about BB's skin and i know they are two different things but it really annoys me the British National Health Services attitudes to illness the fact they always give you a appointment and it takes weeks/months to see anyone! Reading the blog made me remember when Billy was tiny and how bad his skin was when we first bought him home, it was so bad that i went to the doctors in the morning and by the afternoon he'd been referred and was seeing a paed at the hospital, who look couldn't find any reason for it so referred him to a skin specialist and the appointment took nearly 6weeks to arrive but thankfully he was better by then, but the lack of concern is amazing! The picture was taken on the 5Th August and he was born the 28Th June so he was just over 5weeks old and he had the rash from coming home from hospital at 5days old and what you can see on his face was everywhere.


Anyone who can give Hannah some suggestions/advice please go over to her page and post a comment.


This is strange looking at this photo, as it really doesnt look like my little boy!
