Medical

It appears as though I spoke to soon as far as Emily is concerned. Although the fever is in fact gone, she threw up last night, just after getting all cleaned up in the bath tub. Not that she could help that, but timing is everything isn't it? She hasn't been herself since this whole thing started so, if she has any other symptoms, or just isn't back to normal by tomorrow, back to the doctor's we go.

Speaking of doctor's...Katie had her followup with the allergist yesterday. He thinks that she has mild asthma so now, in addition to the nasonex, she is going to be taking Singulair. Between her allergy medications and her hypoglycemic testing paraphanelia it sure is a good thing we have a excellent prescription plan. Not that I wouldn't pay an arm and a leg regardless, but you know what I mean.

Apparently, this entry will be all about medical concerns because, yes, I have just one more piece of info to share.

As wonderful as Ryun's health plan through the union is, there is just one major gripe I have. They only pay for a physical for children once every otheryear. Isn't that crazy? I was wondering if there was some kind of a law regarding how often children had to visit the doctor, so I called the pediatrician and asked. He said that there wasn't a law, but, any doctor he has ever known or heard about schedules a well child visit once a year, and, more often when they are younger due to vaccinations. That coupled with the fact that in order to enter a Massachusetts Public School System, you must have a physical form filled out that is no less than a year old really makes the health plans rule stupid. Of course, I take the girls yearly regardless of what the insurance covers but it pisses me off.

So there.
