Far out, what does it take to get hold of a bottle of Trileptal for Jared. We ran out of it, over the long weekend, I went to ED at our "Subiaco home". They reluctantly gave me 1 syringe for the night dose, and told me I had to organise a script myself, as Dr Lakshmi Nagarajan, Jared's Neuro doc, wasn't going to be at hospital this week, and the Pharmacist on duty, was no - where to be found!
I sat on the all too familiar pink chairs in ED, watching the poor little baby boy opposite me, having a febrile convulsion and vomitting at the same time. Whilst everyone sat and watched, I jumped up and grabbed a sick bucket, and held it under the poor kids chin, whilst trying to assure the dad that his son was having a fit, because he was too hot. I helped undress him and went and got a few damp, tepid flannels to help clean him up and sponge him down. The nurse at triage was busy assessing another child, and left me to it. I didn't mind, as you know, I will help ANYONE at ANYTIME, just a shame that the baby's dad couldn't even say thank you. Don't people have any manners these days??? Nevermind, at least I know I did the right thing.
Anyway, getting back to my situation, which was quite urgent, considering Bunny had missed his morning dose, I managed to get a script from the ED Registrar, and said that I would catch up with Lakshmi on the 13th, in Outpatients.
Took the script to the Day & Night Pharmacy in Canning Vale, they didn't have any Trileptal in liquid form, so the Pharmacist phoned Pharmacy 777 in Applecross, and informed me that they had some in stock, so off I went.
Got there, gave them the PMH script, only to be told that "this medicine is very expensive", it will cost you $245.00. I nearly died, I said that at the hospital, it costs me $5.30. A huge difference, so I left it and came home to leave a message for Annie from PMH Dispensary.
Annie phoned me back this morning, and as always, she NEVER lets me down, she was going to have it ready for me to collect, by 2pm. So we will be heading off shortly, to get it.
We also have Keira Sierra at the vet, having her Sterilisation plus umbilical hernia op today, so it's a busy and stressful day. I worry about my poodles, almost as much as my kids!!!! You know me, a big marshmallow!! hehehehe
Let's hope the rain stops soon, I need to get some more washing hung out to dry, too!
I must remember to phone Suzette and book Mikaela an appointment to see her, for her Physio review too. Received the reminder letter 2/7 ago!
Well I'm outta here now, got peeps to see, and lots to do!
Have a nice day, love to you!
PS: If you happen to be reading this Fiona, I'm still thinking and praying for you guys, hope all is well with bubs and please give a big kiss and cuddle to Immie, for me! One for you too!
Take care
