Took Luke to the doctor on Monday for his two year well check-up.
Found out he has an ear infection.
Mom is so glad we already had a scheduled appointment.
Mom is glad the doctor found the infection before the screaming, yelling, and misery broke out at home, at all hours of the morning.
Since the holidays are upon us, Mom was glad the doctor suggested an aggressive antibiotic (Omnicef) to possibly avoid the emergency room.
Mom goes to pharmacy #1 and was totally shocked to learn that her insurance paid for $30 of the prescription....my balance??......$72.
Mom made a phone call to the doctor's office to request a different antibiotic.
Doctor prescribed Amoxicillin.
Mom went to pick up the prescription and found out pharmacy #2 declared the month of December as FREE ANTIBIOTIC month (except for Omnicef).
Mom's checkbook is smiling.

Yes, with Bent we had several of those "aggressive" (in my book, you might as well call them "so new that there is no generic version") antibiotics. I always opted for the other route, and for the most part, we ended up okay!
Are you going to vote for Hilary Healthscare now? JK
Hey Jawan, if Luke continues to have these awful ear infections, consider getting tubes placed in his ears--that was the best thing we ever did for Kacie--she never had another one after we had that done...Love Joni
