Update on last post

Jackson is doing AMAZING.
His cough is almost gone.
Before, when he'd cough he wouldn't get the "junk" out.  He could cough for 5 minutes and it did no good.
Now, he hardly has the need to cough, his chest is finally sounding clear.
Those breathing treatments are a miracle!
You know what else is great?  The doctor prescribed enough medication to give 75 treatments!  He only takes 4 a day, so I'm guessing that was the doctor's way of saying
"You crazy lady, please don't ever let your child's cough go for so long...here's some extra meds for the future..."
Thanks Doc.

Something I didn't mention before was that McKay started a new job on Monday.
Something that happens when you leave an old job is you also leave your old insurance.
So, this lovely pneumonia episode happened during the short uninsured period.
In two days I spent $570 between doctors visits and prescriptions.
Yesterday we got an email from McKay's new employer stating that our new insurance has been processed and our effective date is APRIL 1, 2011....5 days prior to the doctor visits! 
All I have to do is send in a copy of our new insurance card, and I'll get a reimbursement for all my out-of-pocket expenses.
What a blessing.

That is SO nice you don't have to pay out of pocket, especially in the middle of moving! Sweet! I'm glad Jackson is doing better, we still have Mason's breathing treatments meds from last year that I am sure hanging onto in case it comes back... at least til the expiration date anyway ;-)
