[quote=Anonymous]One other point:  in many jobs (like mine), leave needs to be approved before you can take it.  In this case, your DH's leave was approved for the week that you planned.  In my office, when my boss is out and I am acting in her position, if I tried to take leave when her leave was already scheduled, my change would be denied and I would have to work.  I know better than to try to take leave when my boss is out; sounds like your husband has a similar situation and knows better than to even try to take the following week off.

You need to have more options for your son's care than one very much in-demand specialist.  Unless your child is having an urgent asthma situation/event (in which case, your vacation should be cancelled anyways), then you make other arrangements.  If your specialist works in a practice with other asthma specialists, see if you can have a check-in with one of the other doctors in the practice who can then communicate your son's check-up and condition to his regular specialist.  If not, then ask the specialists office if they have another office or asthma specialist that they work with that can see your son when you cannot get appointments with the primary specialist.  My wife has a significant medical condition for which we see specialists in Cinncinnati.  Yes, their schedules are often very hard to get on and despite 4-6 trips a year since 2003 to see the specialists, it is hard.  A couple of years ago, we were able to cut back to visits every 6 months to Cincinnati by finding referrals from her specialists for doctors in DC and Charlottesville, VA that we can see every 6 months in between (3 months after every visit to Cincinnati).  These doctors can see us more easily and they communicate with the specialists after every check-in and saves us trying to coordinate around such busy specialist schedules.  And this gives us options when we have emergencies.  [/quote]
