The kids have been through the ringer lately.... ear infections, bronchiolitis, pneumonia (for 2 days, then found out there was no pneumonia), nebulizers, medicines, medicines, and more medicines.....
At the doctor's office on the 3rd, I was looking through Connor's files with our nurse, and we discovered that he's had 4 ear infections since October:
#1- October
#2- November 15th. The reason I know it was then, is because we moved into our new house that day, and ended up spending the night in the E.R. After the diagnosis, they gave us a prescription for Amoxicillin, but said that since it was late, to get it the next day.
#3- Mid - February... around the 13th/ right before we left for Arizona.
#4- February 28. The day after we got back from Arizona.
Anyway, we left the appointment with instructions to contact the walk-in clinics where #3 and #4 were treated, and have the proof/paperwork sent to our regular pediatrician (for insurance purposes in case he needs tubes in his ears). At our check-up this past Tuesday, our Dr. was trying to tell me that he didn't have #2. The paperwork said that he was treated for "General Illness - i.e. cough and fever. After what seemed like hours of trying to tell her that he did in fact have one, she gave in. Later that day, she called to tell me that the E.R. did not have record of his ear infection.
Which brings me to today. I sat on the couch tonight cleaning out my purse and what did I come across?:

Kadlec Medical Center
Emergency Room
Instructions for Medication
Medication: Amoxicillin
yadda yadda yadda.....
Correct me if I'm wrong... last time I checked, a cough and fever isn't treated with Amoxicillin.
EAT THAT!

Yeah...it always fills good to be right! You crack me up. I love the read your posts. You have such a cute way of writing...you should write a book!
So great that you had the proof too! I've been around and around the Dr.s lately too.. ugh. Some dr.s can be so dang arrogant!
Cassi, I love it! You are great and I love when you get vindication..of course you wouldn't make up an illness. Hope everyone gets happy and healthy soon!
Do it.... take it to the Dr. and throw it in his face! Mom's know these things, please! Does he think you sit in the ER and worry for no reason at all and then the next day it's just gone from your mind! Geesh!
Sometimes doctors drive me crazy! By the way, thanks for the invite to the beach house. That sounds like SO much fun. Unfortunately I'll be in Utah during that time :(. How often do you guys do it because we would love to come!
