Get a value from dynamic drop down menu to add to firebase database

[shep222]

The dropdown menu will populate with the list, but when I try to push the value to firebase I get an error..."Cannot read property 'value' of undefined".

THE HTML:



[[dr.name]]

        </paper-listbox>
    </paper-dropdown-menu>

THE PUSH to firebase:
addPatient: function () {
this.$.patients.ref.push({
name: this.$.pxName.value,
aptTime: this.$.pxAptTime.value,
location: this.$.pxLocation.value,
provider: this.$.pxProvider.value <<<<<<<<<<<<< THIS IS WHATS NOT WORKING
})

for some reason it deletes the majority of my HTML. This is the line that I"m trying to get the value from

paper-item id="pxProvider">[[dr.name]]</paper-item
