When my MS doctor said she wanted me to find someone closer to home to see me if I needed something quickly I was worried.
I am not sure I can find a neuro in this area who has a good beside manner. Many of he people in my area do what I did and travel the 3 hours one way to get a good doctor. We do have some wonderful PCP's in this area but great specialists up here are harder to come by. I think a PCP might be more open to taking orders from a specialist. Seems like the MS doctor and neuro might bump heads a bit.
Yes, children with Downs are very sweet. They are actually very smart and can do anything any other child can do. We think we have a wonderful family. The kids are great. They are progressing and doing very well. At least three of them will be pretty independent.
They are very helpful around the house and love school. Our 11 year old daughter is reading, writing, spelling, can do most anything normal 11 year old girls do. She loves Hannah Montana and has a "boy friend" who lives right next to us. He is autistic.
I get offended easily when a doctor automatically assumes my health problems are caused by my children. It's just not correct.

it is possible that a 2nd visit will be better. at least he knows you have MS.
on the other hand the idea of your current dr working with your pcp is a good idea.
Down Syndrome children are so open and loving.
you must have a wonderful family.
blessings to you.
