The cost of getting well

Everyone is sick with some virus. Big whoop right? Except that since we all have asthma and it's ragweed season these little viruses turn into big breathing problems pretty quickly. It's been nearly ten months since I had to take any of the kids to the ER and I'd like that number to just keep on getting bigger.

Cul missed two days of school and Chris and Cam missed one. Off they went to their pediatrician yesterday who gave them a sample and then a prescription for Accuhist. This stuff has scopalamine and atropine in it. It must be kind of amazing stuff. It sure cost a lot. Even with a prescription card it was forty dollars per kid for 20 pills. I find that deeply discouraging.

Obviously it's money well spent but still it's a lot of money. We've already got thousands of dollars of medical bills outstanding. What's a little more, I guess.
