Snow Day #3
1. Wake up at 7am to crying 2-year-old with a fever over 102. Promptly get him Motrin & distract him with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
2. Wait patiently for 8am to arrive so a dr. appointment can be made. Call at 8 to find out office is closed until 10. After 3 phone calls, finally get appointment scheduled for afternoon.
3. Get really worried at lunch when Trigger gets very shaky & won't eat anything. Fever has also come raging back.
4. Take him to the pediatrician (Scott did this) and find out he is positive for Type A flu. Get prescriptions for Tamiflu for both boys.
5. Call family doctor for prescriptions for the grown-ups. Await return call to confirm that Tamiflu is safe for nursing momma to take.
6. Find out from pharmacy that insurance is denying coverage of the medicine, stating that we filled a prescription for the same medicine within the last calendar year. (Not true; the last time we had Tamiflu was in October 2009)
7. Make a million phone calls and finally get all 4 prescriptions approved by insurance and ready to be filled at the same pharmacy.
8. Listen to 4 -year-old whine that little brother has gotten to choose the TV selections all day. Explain that he would not want to trade places.
9. Pick up prescriptions from pharmacy & pay $200 for them!!!!
10. Praise God that this sickness did not show up in our house in the two previous days while we were stuck at home. Thank Him for the delightful days of family time that we experienced this week. Pray pray pray that the Tamiflu works quickly to relieve Trigger's symptoms & keep the rest of us from getting it!

I hope he feels better soon (and that no one else gets sick!). We've got a man down here, too - Will has been sick with I'm not sure what since Tues. evening. I think it's just a stomach bug of some sort - fun, fun. Here's to EVERYONE getting and staying well!
