After 12 and 1/2 years that the Docs just don't listen to me?? Man Chris sometimes I feel was born with a sinus infection I was told he would grow out of them, well NOT happening Today I called the Doc cause he has been suffering AGAIN all the green junk coming out and appears his head hurts him. Soooo I call the Ped and say just prescribe an antibiotic as its the same as it always is. Hmmmm she is like well we need to see him, Hmmmm Being I myself am sick as hell and have to get myself to the Docs tomorrow I was not as patient as I usually am and said to her COME on you want to make me drive 30 min. there just so you can say YES he has what I already told you, GRRRRR I said PLEASE have a pow wow with all your partners and get back to me with the answer I want, LOL Geez not for nothing I know I am not a Doc BUT come on this is an ongoing thing with Chris and they know it. K, she calls me back and says OK this time BUT next time you must bring him in. WHATEVER at least this time I have saved both Chris and I the trouble of having to drive down there for NOOOOOO good reason. K, just venting here, I tell you some days I just get tired of Docs I myself have the ear ache with swollen glands but couldn't' t talk my Doc into prescribing over the phone, LOL BUT you can bet I gave it my best shot, LOLOL Well one out of two isn't tooooo bad least its one less Doc visit for tomorrow Now I know I am not a Doc BUT I tell you I will bet my last dime that after I see my doc tomorrow she will say YUP you have an ear infection along with swollen glands and you need an antibiotic Hmmm no kidding LOL K, I am off to sleep and thanks for letting me vent CC ~

Hey CC,
I've always thought that an experienced mom should get some form of an MD's license!

CC girl...see if you can get them to give you a prescription with a REFILL when you go next time. This is a chronic condition for Chris and there's no reason you should have to bring him in every single time...see if you can convince them. You can be VERY persuasive, I know! :-)

LOL CC...you sound just like me! Seems like my kids always seem to get an ear infection or something on the WEEKEND! So, I'll call and say "PUHLEEEEZE give me antibiotic, the ear is oozing green, I don't wanna go to the ER!, PUHLEEEEZE call in meds!" and usually...if I beg long enough...they'll do it! haha They know I mean BUSINESS! haha I'm glad you got your antibiotics for Chris, though! Poor guy Hope he feels better. Staci

Yep... docs are good for not giving anti's without seeing the child, usually. Sorry you and Chris are both sick... get well soon!

Thanks Gals, YUP A. I know they don't like to hand out meds over the phone BUT in this case its down right silly they make me bring him in every time and every time they look at him and say yup he needs meds. Oh well this time I got them to do and DANI girl, NOPE Nooo way they would put a renewal on it. They said they MUST see him next time Weird part was they started saying to me Chris has been on way tooo many antibiotics for sinus problems over the last 12 years and they worry bout that. Hmmm and what exactly they want me to do bout it ?? Without the meds its just gets worse, never ever has cleared up on its own. Anywho, I was right too and my DOC said YUP you have swollen glands and ear infection BUT what I didn't know was that I have Bronchitis (sp?) also Hmmm Guess I'm not as good a Doc as I thought I was, LOLOL Chris stayed home from school today and took care of me ;D He was the Best of the Bestest Helpers, I have to say ;D So at the moment in this household of 4, ALL 4 of us are on some kind of antibiotic, for one reason or another GEEZ I hope this is not a sign how the summer is gonna be Stay Healthy Everybody CC ~

Awe CC & Chris & the rest of your family, I hope you all get better really soon !!
Hugs to you all !!
Ya know, I love my kids DOC, she knows I know that when Ian & Betty have ear infections, thrush, or sinus infections she always prescribes the meds over the phone, unless they are running really high fevers then its off to the DOCS. Like the other day, Betty wasn't wanting to eat or drink anything and hanging her tongue out of her mouth and grabbing it, her tongue was all red and sores on her cheeks and red open sores on the roof of her mouth, I called her DOC & told her she has the same symptoms as before and she's like no problem, I'll call in a prescription for her !! What a wonderful lady !! Mind you are trips to the DOCS are a 5 hour thing, 1.5 hrs. there, 1 hr. in the DOCS & 1 hr. to change diapers eat and pee and 1.5 hrs. home and if its not rush hr. HMMMMM 7 hrs. NO KIDDING !!
Glad Chris is there to help you, sounds like a great helper !! Hope you all get well and alot of rest !!

Ditto that, get well soon!!! I hate sinus infections - especially in the summer, uggh. I hear ya about the dr.s. Paige is chronic too, but they make me take her in each and every time....the child is allergic to penicillin and every time I have about fourteen different people (all the same fourteen different people who have know her from birth!), say, "so, is Paige allergic to anything" -------uh, HELLO???, where have you been and dont you see that huge RED sticker on the front of her chart, geez, you gotta wonder sometimes!
