Gabe is sick AGAIN!!!

Okay, yesterday Guy and I started our tutoring job (after school on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:30). we went to pick up Gabe and were told that he had a fever of 102. Of course, we hit a panic. All doctors offices are closed at that time! We stopped at Aunt Joyce's to find the address of the urgent care in Grenada. We get there only to find out that they were closed---two hours early. One option left: ER. Yuck! Long waits, too much money, little service. We waited until 7:30 to go to the back (oh, and it took two hours to get Gabe tylenol to reduce his fever). We waited another forty-five minutes to see the doctor. Gabe's ear infection didn't respond to the amocillin. He also developed a reaction to the antibiotic. He isn't allergic (Thank goodness!), but doesn't need to take any forms of penicillin unless absolutely necessary. the doctor wrote us a prescription for the new antibiotic (hello--it's almost nine o'clock! What pharmacy is open at this time of day?). So we head home. This morning, I am the lucky parent who got to stay home with Gabe. At nine, we go to the local pharmacy to get his prescription filled. guess what? No one in Water Valley carries that antibiotic. They will be happy to order it and the prescription will be available tomorrow, maybe. We decided to come home and I begin to call pharmacies in the Oxford area. NO ONE CARRIES THE DAMN ANTIBIOTIC!!!!!! But wait, a wonderful local pharmacy called Chaney's offers to do the one thing that could make my day. The pharmacist gets the number of the prescribing doctor for me and calls them to see if they can make a substitution. It takes her an hour and a half, but she called me back to say they will have a prescription ready for me today, this afternoon. HALLELUJAH!!!! Thank God for some people who still have service as their primary goal. So now, Gabe and i are just waiting for Guy and Mabry to come home so that I can go to Oxford and pick up said prescription (Our other car has no air conditioning, and I refuse to put Gabe in that for a thirty minute drive.). Wish us luck that they will actually have said prescription and Gabe's ear infection will finally disappear.
