$75.00 Popsicle

OK, call me a nervous Nellie but last night after we got home from
Kevin's appointment... I was concerned about Kevin... granted he was
due for anebulizer treatment and a dose of Tylenol... but the poor kid
was burning up, very itchy and having a difficult time breathing. I
kept thinking about hissats being 85 and even though they came up to
97, that was right after a treatment and what if they dropped down
again while he was sleeping? He was so miserable and not sleeping even
though he had taken a Benedryl for the itching so I decided I would take
him to the emergency room for a chest x-ray and then he'd be there if
he needed an IV or oxygen... so off we went. We arrived at midnight,
they did his x-ray pretty quickly but we didn't see the doctor til
after 3:00 am. Apparently no one is in x-ray past midnight that can
read the x-rays so we had to wait for an ER doctor to read them... in
the meantime, they gave him apopsicle, the doctor came in and said the x-ray looked fine and sent us on our way! So it's not pneumonia... we'll keep doing the nebs every 4 hours and he has 4 days left of Zithromax... I felt kind of silly paying $75.00 for the ER co-pay after paying $25.00 for the office visit plus $20.00 for prescriptions but better safe than sorry is my motto!
