Sleepless night

After one really sleepless night and lots of mucus, I made a last minute appointment with our favorite pediatrician to check Trevor's ears.  His energy level was still high, but he was clearly holding on to his right ear at the appointment.  Sure enough, he has an ear infection.  Glad that we caught it, but also intimated by the thought of forcing down 2 a day doses for ten days, I begged for an alternative. Come to find out, there is an antibiotic that is more slowly time released and only has to be given once a day.  I jumped on the opportunity.  All was great until I went to pick up the RX and found that the new rx before insurance was $160!  The amoxicillin before insurance is only $6.99!  Feeling slightly bad for making Trevor wait to start his meds, I asked the pediatrician to call in the amoxicillin to save $$.  And with her suggestion, we have been putting the meds in his morning and evening milk and he's not complaining at all!  This is so much better than the last ear infection.   Battles with bubblegum amoxicillin flying everywhere, but in his mouth.  9 more days to go;).
