Mind you...I had already taken BOTH kids to the pediatrician 2 days before and was told that they're fine, that this is allergies, and that I can expect them both to sound like this for the next 4-6 weeks.
Call me crazy....but does that look like "FINE" to YOU?
I finally got a Rx for a steroid for Q.
We headed to the pharmacy to have it filled.
"ready in 30 minutes" actually means being told that our "prescription wasn't ready and to check back in 20 minutes"
And that's what we did.
6 times.
After 2 hours I demanded to know what the hold up was.
30 minutes later I was told that they don't even HAVE that Rx in stock and could check back tomorrow, as they were expecting to receive more.
The pharmacist noticed Quincy coughing and whimpering loudly, gave me the "stink-eye" and asked with {judgmental} concern:
"She sounds pretty terrible. Haven't you taken her in to have that cough checked out?"
SERIOUSLY!??!! Why else would I BE there? To fill the Rx I filled out myself with my personalized pharmaceutical stationary tablet?
I asked for the written Rx from the doctor so I could get it filled somewhere else.
THEY. WOULDN'T GIVE IT BACK...stating they had already processed my claim and now I would need to wait until they could get the medication in stock.
I asked louder.
After a heated debate and me getting a little ghetto fabulous (like I wasn't WT enough with my toddler in the cart coughing up a lung and wearing mismatched jammies and no shoes), I headed out the door with the Rx in hand and a headache.
What is it about having a sick kid that causes us to lose every last ounce of patience? Is it the lack of sleep? The interrupted plans? Knowing that they are in pain and there's nothing I can do about it? The stupid pharmacist? Probably the last one.
I wanted to hit someone by the time I left.
Luckily, that night, Aaron was able to find the correct meds somewhere else, and after 5 days we finally got some of this:
She is still grouchy, but her cough is finally clearing up and at least she is acting semi-normal again.Good thing there's "nothing wrong with her".

That is the saddest video. Hope the meds have kicked in. Speaking of kicked in, that's what I may have done to the pharmacist's head.
i am crying right now. that video kills me! i want to kick that Dr. TRASH so bad!
UGH - kill someone! Don't they understand that YOUR RX is YOUR property???? Insane, power-hungry people. Power to the mama bear instead. You go, girl.
I probably look like the worst mother ever for just videotaping while she whimpered, rather than putting down the camera and picking her up. Trust me, over the past week, Little Q has been held and comforted and rocked and snuggled and spoiled affectionately! I promise!
How miserable! We have been going through with some of that! Not fun, but not like that. Yikes!
One of the worst things I have ever watched. That was painful. nd I do trust that you were comforting in all other instances. Poor Quincy.
You need to find a Dr that believes in the "Mommy Instinct". It is a powerful thing. And the reason we drive 25 minutes to see our pediatrician even after we moved 6 1/2 years ago....
Poor Q, and poor Mommy! Hope things get better soon.
