Our Adventurous Tuesday!

Today has been an adventure!  Last night about 8pm Haley had a fever so we gave her some Tylenol and put her to bed.  Normally in the morning she wakes me up by talking really loud... well this morning I woke up at 10:30am and it was quiet as could be.  I looked at the monitor and Haley was just laying in her crib.  I went to her room and she didn't jump up like she normally does with her big smile... she just laid there looking at me.  I picked her up and changed her diaper, and sat her down in the living room where she normally crawls around and plays with her toys.  Well this morning she just laid down on the floor with her head down.  I knew she didn't feel good :(

I called the doctor and Haley's usual doctor wasn't in. So I took her to see another doctor there at Hometown Pediatrics.  She now weighs 21 lbs. 5oz!  Dr. Wright checked her out and said she has an ear infection and almost another one.  She also still has a sinus infection.  She's technically been sick since March! And the  Amoxicillan that was last prescribed did nothing for her!  Today he prescribed her Suprax which normally costs around $150! Luckily, Dr. Wright gave me a paper so we only had to pay $25!!  The antibiotic will clear up her ear infection and sinus infection.  Dr. Wright seemed pretty confident that this time the medicine will work!  While I was there I actually switched to use him from now on. I like him alot better than Dr. John.

After the doctor we went to Walmart to get the prescription filled. Normally when I drop off a prescription I get a text on my phone when it's ready. Well an hour and a half later I got tired of waiting for the text and went up there to see what was taking so long.  The lady said "well we didn't fill it because the medicine costs $150 and you should probably call your pediatrician and ask for a cheaper medicine."  I couldn't believe it... one... I gave the lady the coupon for it to be $25... second... even if I didn't have a coupon... how can they just assume it's too expensive for me??  And during all this... Haley now has a fever back and is super fussy.  I told the lady that I dropped off the coupon when I dropped off the prescription and it's ridiculous that they didn't even try to contact me about my prescription if they felt it might be a problem!!! I was furious!  She found the coupon and put a rush on the fill and then apologized! How frustrating!!

Before all that drama I decided while I was waiting on the prescription I would use some of my coupons and see what stuff I could get for free. I saw that Nivea bodywash was marked down for $3 this week at Walmart, and guess what?  I had a coupon for $3 off! They were all out of the men's bodywash but I was able to get the women's bodywash for FREE! The lady scanned the coupon, the total went to $0.00 and I was on my way!

So that is how our day went and I'm absolutely exhausted! 

I will update again soon!

 P.S. 18 more days until Haley's 1st birthday.  I got her birthday outfit in and it is so cute!! Don't forget to RSVP!
