Azithromycin for the Soul........


Forget chicken soup it just doesn't work....... As you all know Lil guy (Logan) was pretty sick this past week...... and in the spirit of "Share and Share alike" he's managed to pass it on to Chloey and Tyler......


Same symptoms, same fevers same (everything) ..... and of course it ALWAYS gets worse on the wknds LOL


Our Doc isn't on call this wknd so I had NO clue who I'd be dealing with over the phone (never have spoken (or) seen this doctor before)


After calling the answering service........ The doctor on call.......... calls me back and low and behold she is BEYOND pleasant..... I told her we had seen Dan on Wed for Logan (after an ER trip to boot) and that I had been treating Ty and Logan with Rondec and Motrin/Tylenol and it just wasn't touching this and things were getting worse......


Without skipping a beat she tells me not to worry and will call in some Azithromycin for them.......


Holy Crap did she just say she'd call antibiotics in for my kiddos and I didn't even have to argue with her?


I'm FLOORED...... but also very pleased...... It's refreshing to have a doctor (other than mine) that actually LISTENS to the "mom"......... and cares enough about the kiddos to NOT let them suffer through because they are afraid of some type of stereotype from dispensing antibiotics.......


Not everything is a da*n virus and there are times that children just NEED them......
This is one of those times and I'm pleased my babies don't have to suffer through until Tuesday to get them.......


As for Logan he's 80% better..... (I'd say 100 but he's got a nasty cough) The fever is long gone tho.......


Someone PLEASE send my oldest daughter a memo NOT to catch this from her younger siblings.......


I'm off to check to see if the scripts are ready at the pharm.........


HACHOOOOOOO! :0)
